I can confirm this on a current hardy install.
** Changed in: bash-completion (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- UbuntuME: Bash command completion puts backslash in front of beginning
dollar sign
+ Bash command completion puts backslash in front of beginning dollar sign
** Description changed:
- UbuntunME ONLY
-
Command completion inserts a backslash in front of the beginning collar
sign of my environment variable. Example:
export MYENVVARB=xxx
cd $MYE<tab>
results in
cd \$MYENVVARB
which is not only seriously inconvenient, but I've never seen any
standard Bash configuration that does it. I recommend it be configured
or programmed otherwise. Perhaps there is a special mode for this, but
it should not be turned on in the terminal. Those terminals are places
where environment variables will be used a lot, and people will want
command completion for them. This is completely non-standard. I'm
seeing it in both the standard terminals, and in the xterms I use.
