Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
If two (or more) files have the same prefix that ends in a quote
(double, single, take your pick), or some other escapable character
(back-slash is my test case), but then something else, tab completion
will fail! Here's how to reproduce:
1. Run: touch "1'1 1" "1'2 2"
2. Type: rm 1\'
3. Attempt to tab complete. bash will suggest the two files.
4. Give a hint by entering 1.
5. Attempt to tab complete again. bash is dumb-founded.
This occurs with single- and double-quotes, and backslashes -- but *not*
with with spaces. Other cases are untested.
Checked as problematic on feisty and gutsy.
** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- tab completion fails when files have same prefix ending in a
quote/escapable-char
+ tab completion fails when files have same prefix that ends in a
quote/escapable-char
** Description changed:
