Bugs item #311411, was opened at 30/01/2009 10:27 Status: Open Priority: 2 Submitted By: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: ULP 254426: Autocomplete of fileames with backquote expansion leaves garbage Distribution: None Originally reported in: Ubuntu Launchpad Milestone: None Original bug number: 254426
Initial Comment: With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_completion), commands within backquotes containing a space doesn't get autocompleted properly: $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command: $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves "~/some_file`date " in front of it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: David Paleino (hanska-guest) Date: 30/01/2009 10:28 Message: DBTS 511151: From: James Westby <[email protected]> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[email protected]> Subject: Autocomplete of fileames with backquote expansion leaves garbage Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:53:22 +0000 Package: bash-completion Version: 20080705 Severity: minor Hi, In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/254426 "dermoth" reported the following. " With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_completion), commands within backquotes containing a space doesn't get autocompleted properly: $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command: $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves "~/some_file`date " in front of it. " Confirmed on sid. Note that you have to have "~" or a directory portion, the bug doesn't happen if you complete a filename in cwd.
