That explains some of what's going on in this case, but not all. For the first tab, shouldn't the text filled in by completion be "qwe\:o" instead of "qwe:o", since it includes a COMP_WORDBREAKS character? That's how filename completion behaves, so I'd expect the same behavior here. Is the completion function responsible for adding the backslash, or should bash do it? Also, after two tabs, we have "qwe:qwe:o", but further tabs don't add any more "qwe:"'s for some reason I don't understand. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
