Public bug reported:
Both my 14.04 and 15.10 install. using dd in a folder with the syntax
`sudo dd if=[type letters and hit tab]` will start to auto-complete but
erase `if=` and fail to continue to autocomplete.
Steps -
1. Type out a dd command `sudo dd if=`
2. Type beginning letters of an existing file.
3. Hit tab to initiate auto-complete.
What should happen
- autocomplete will put in the file name after if= and allow continuation and
suggestions of the rest of the filename.
What happens
- the file name erases if= and prevents further autocomplete action
