** Summary changed:

- Bash autocomplete of date within backquotes fails
+ Bash programmed autocomplete of commands with space within backquotes fails

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bash
  
- It appear as though Bash autocompletes the "date" command within
- backquotes, but fails to do so properly:
+ With Bash programable autocomplete (/etc/bash_completion), commands
+ within backquotes containing a space doesn't get autocompleted properly:
  
  $ touch ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
  $ ls ~/some_file_`date -I`.txt
- /home/dermoth/some_file_2008-08-03.txt
+ /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt
  
  So far this works, but if I press the <TAB> key at the end of the command:
- $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/dermoth/some_file_2008-08-03.txt 
+ $ ls ~/some_file`date /home/gaby/some_file_2008-08-03.txt 
  
  The autocompletion doesn't overwrite the whole argument and leaves
  "~/some_file`date " in front of it.
  
  This bug could be related to Bug #219406
+ 
+ PS: The backquotes feature works only with bash programmed completion
+ (/etc/bash_completion).
