Public bug reported:
I initially asked a question about this on Ask Ubuntu:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/317667/tab-completing-directories-when-
exporting-variables-in-bash-4-2
The problem is that when I try to complete while exporting a variable that
contains a directory name, I get the following:
$ export VAR=/home/w<TAB>
$ export /home/wds
While correct behaviour would give me:
$ export VAR=/home/wds
The completion is handled by the script in
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/export, which installs a function
_export, seen when running complete -p export which gives:
complete -F _export export
Remove the bash-completion package solves the problem, but of course I'm
now missing all those other completions I might want.
