My situation is a little bit different, and I believe some others share my situation. By applying the fix in #10, it only solves the problem for some commands, i.e. those listed in that for loop. However, for commands such as mplayer and dpkg, it still does not work. Also, I do not have file acroread.sh under /etc/bash_completion.d/ So, I cannot delete this file as others do. I tried to move away all the files under /etc/bash_completion.d/, and the problem still remains for some commands such as xfig. This means, if there is a problem, it has to be within /etc/bash_completion I noticed that on my laptop, both gzip and mplayer have an autocompletion configuration file under /etc/bash_completion.d/, and autocompletion works fine for gzip but not for mplayer. A comparison between the configurations files reveal that: in line 43 of gzip's configurationfile, function _compopt_o_filenames is called before autocompletion at line 44, but for mplayer's configuration file, in the last case starting at line 253, function _filedir is invoked without calling function _compopt_o_filenames. By adding an invocation to the function _compopt_o_filenames before line 254 in mplayer's configuration file, it makes mplayer work as expected.
This gives the idea of how to solve the problem with /etc/bash_completion In /etc/bash_completion, line 72-126 defines the application specific autocompletion for many commands, and they are also without calling function _compopt_o_filenames first. However, function _compopt_o_filenames is defined in line 618, thus it cannot be called at line 72. My fix is to paste the implementation of this function in line 623-624 before line 72. However, there is still another problem. The complete commands defined in line 72-126 (now 74-128) are only for filename completion. So, the option "-o plusdirs" needs to be added to each complete command to also include the result of directory name completion. e.g. "complete -f -X '!*.fig' xfig" -> "complete -f -o plusdirs -X '!*.fig' xfig" After this, all the commands listed in line 74-128 work properly. As a conclusion, this should be a bug in /etc/bash_completion and those configuration files under /etc/bash_completion.d/ My solution only fix those commands listed in /etc/bash_completion. For commands that have a separate configuration file under /etc/bash_completion.d/, the fix should be applied to the configuration file individually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to acroread in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769866 Title: tab completion no longer escapes filenames and completes dirnames incorrectly (space instead of slash) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acroread/+bug/769866/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
