My first question would be: does the problem still occur if you disable bash-completion? Open a new instance of bash and run "complete -r" to remove all programmable completions. See if the problem still occurs. Then close that instance of bash. > okular ~/dir1\ with\ blanks/di > to make the completion to dir2 unique Oh, there's more than one subdir? Let me test that as well.... Yeah, even with both dir1 and dir2 (each containing a file), I still get the expected behavior in bash without bash-completion in the picture. unicorn:~$ cd /tmp unicorn:/tmp$ mkdir -p 'dir with blanks'/dir2 unicorn:/tmp$ touch "$_"/file (first experiments with tab completion, not shown) unicorn:/tmp$ mkdir -p 'dir with blanks'/dir1 unicorn:/tmp$ touch "$_"/otherfile unicorn:/tmp$ xyz dir\ with\ blanks/dir dir1/ dir2/ unicorn:/tmp$ xyz dir\ with\ blanks/dir2/file I'm assuming whatever issue you're seeing is the result of a bash-completion bug, not a bash bug. If you can confirm that, then you'll know which package to file a bug against.
