Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gvfs
/etc/profile.d/gvfs-bash-completion.sh deliberately removes the colon
character from COMP_WORDBREAKS. This breaks scp tab-completion provided
by bash-completion.
$ scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:foob<TAB>
becomes:
$ scp foobar
(assuming presence of a file foobar in [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s homedir)
The [EMAIL PROTECTED]: portion is deleted by the completion expansion.
Arguably, the completions in the bash-completion should try to be
resilient to COMP_WORDBREAKS setting, since the user could redefine
this. However, that point aside, it is not very appropriate for the gvfs
package to be making global changes to bash completion behaviour.
(Ubuntu Intrepid, gvfs-bin 1.0.2-0ubuntu1)
