Package: bash Version: 2.05b-26 Followup-For: Bug #313514 Hi,
this bug hit me today, too, when I wanted to delete filenames with newlines. Completion for mv, rm and ls (haven't tested others) show this bug, even if you use M-* (insert-completions). $ rm fo<M-*> results even to: $ rm bar foo It does not fail on e. g. echo: $ echo fo<tab> $ echo 'foo bar' (M-* works here correctly, too.) Interesting point is, that it _only_ seems to break on newlines. Doing $ touch "$(echo -e 'evil filename with\nan LF and other special chars ($bla) : , "')" $ rm ev<M-*> results in: $ rm an\ LF\ and\ other\ special\ chars\ \(\$bla\)\ \:\ \,\ \" evil\ filename\ with As a little workaround one can either write $ echo rm ev<tab> or $ xrm ev<tab> then using C-a or Home and deleting "echo " or "x" before execution. The last one maybe only works if there isn't a xrm file/function/alias or something. And oh, I just found out, you can even do $ rm ev<M-/> (M-/ is by default bound to complete-filename. M-x BTW can be entered as ESC x, too.)
