Subject: [bash-completion] bash completion does not work with white spaces in path names anymore

Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 10:46:10 +0200

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Doing this:

$ mkdir 'sub one'
$ mkdir 'sub two'

$ cd su<TAB>       # is expanded to 'cd sub\ '
$ cd sub\ <TAB><TAB>    # nothing happens
$ cd sub\ o<TAB><TAB>   # nothing happens


A bash_completion file from an older system 
($Id: bash_completion,v 1.872 2006/03/01 16:20:18 ianmacd Exp $) 
included in the same session with ". ~/tmp/bash_completion", 
does it as I'm used to and how it should be:

$ cd su<TAB>
$ cd sub\ <TAB><TAB>
sub one/ sub two/
$ cd sub\ o<TAB>
$ cd sub\ one
