A smaller reproducer: mkdir empty cd empty mkdir a\ b touch a\ b/f\ 1 touch a\ b/f\ 2 ls "a b"/"f<TAB> # f 1 f 2 ls "a b"/"a b/f # ends in space (correct) The directory part is doubled. While: ls "a <TAB> # f 1 f 2 ls "a b"/<TAB> # f 1 f 2 ls a\ b/f # ends in space (correct) Correct. But changed "a b" into a\ b (which can be a nuissance). -- Regards, Mike Jonkmans
