Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
Bash doesn't correctly unquote !-characters inside "-quoted strings when
passing the arguments to commands.
For example:
echo "\!" # prints \!
echo \! # prints !
Interestignly enough, other parts of bash corerctly unquote the !
character, for example, when pressing tab on the first echo command
converts to the second form when a ! file exists:
echo "\!"<tab> =>
echo \!

As Kalle Olavi Niemitalo explained, this is an intended and
spec-compliant behavior. Other shells behave in the same way.
Interestignly enough, other parts of bash corerctly unquote the !
character, for example, when pressing tab on the first echo command
converts to the second form when a ! file exists:
echo "\!"<tab> =>
echo \!
The completion logic in bash 5.0-6 and later no longer perform that
erroneous expansion.
Feel free to reopen this bug if you can still reproduce this issue.
