** Changed in: bash (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- [karmic] [regression] menu-complete display possible completions, including
annoying escape prompt
+ [karmic] [regression] menu-complete in bash no longer completes filenames.
** Description changed:
I use bind 'tab: menu-complete' in my .bashrc
- With the latest updates to karmic, it no longer simply just displays the
- next possible completion, but additionally displays the possible
- completions (like the default complete). This alone is disruptive.
- Insult to injury, if there are several completions, it pops up a
- "Display all ### possibilities (y or n)" prompt instead of simply
- displaying the next completion, which is VERY disruptive.
+ With Bash 4 in karmic, it is no longer possible to complete filenames
+ with menu-complete.
- Expected result: hitting tab with menu-complete bound at an empty
- prompt (as an extreme example) should step through all commands one by
- one, with no additional text printed (spewed?) to console.
+ Expected result:
+ "cat /etc/fst<tab>" should complete to "/etc/fstab"
+ "cat /etc/bash<tab>" should complete to "/etc/bash.bashrc". Subsequent tabs
should complete to /etc/bash_completions and /etc/bash_completions.d/ in turn.
- Actual result: hitting tab with menu-complete displays a confirmation
- prompt (!?)
+ Actual result:
+ "cat /etc/fst<tab>" just beeps, without completing anything
+ "cat /etc/bash<tab>" completes to "/etc/bash_completions.d"; subsequent tabs
don't complete to anything else.
+
+ Reverting to bash 3.2 from jaunty restores proper behaviour.
