It looks as though you are getting vi-compatible behavior of <TAB>
on the command line. Specifically, 'wildchar' may be set to its
vi-default rather than its vim-default. Please check the following.
:verbose set compatible? cpo? wildchar?
You are supposed to get 'nocompatible' and vim-defaults as soon as vim
finds a user vimrc file, so please also check that your vimrc file is
being loaded by looking at
:scriptnames
