Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash
With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_
$ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
$ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
/home/gaby/
So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command:
$ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/
The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves "~/some_file`date " in front of it.
This bug could be related to Bug #219406
PS: The backquotes feature works only with bash programmed completion (/etc/bash_
