Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 12 Release Status: release
Tested also in the last version from this unofficial mirror: https://github.com/bminor/bash so I guess it's still a problem. Tab auto-completion removes quotes from variables even when it shouldn't. Test case: $ mkdir 'a b' $ touch 'a b'/c $ i='a b' $ ls "$i"/<press tab here> After pressing tab, the last line becomes: $ ls $i/c When pressing enter, the expected result happens: ls: cannot access 'a': No such file or directory ls: cannot access 'b/c': No such file or directory I expected quoted variables to preserve the quotes when auto-completing with tab.
