Summary: Tilde expansion doesn't always work for account name substrings
Distribution: Debian
Originally reported in: None
Milestone: 1.1
Status: None
Original bug number:
Initial Comment:
If there is a user 'foo' on the server, based on behavior without Bash
Completion installed I would expect that typing "ls ~fo<TAB>" would complete
that to "/home/foo/". Some more complicated commands do work as I'd expect.
For example, "vi ~fo<TAB>" turns into "vi /home/foo/". But it doesn't seem to
work on simpler commands like ls or mv.
In those cases _expand_tilde_by_ref is being called, and I'd expect the
following additional line in your "Example output" for that function to be
handled:
~fo /home/foo/
It doesn't do that though. This code block executes in that case:
# No, $1 doesn't contain slash
eval $1="${!1}"
But that doesn't fill in a partially typed account name. That seems to be a
regression from bash without your package installed to me.
