[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#529357: bash-completion: Fail to complete file with something between square brackets

[Leandro Lucarella]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-2
Severity: normal


luca at azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'['
luca at azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
luca at azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[]'
luca at azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca at azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[2]'
luca at azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca at azazel:~$ vi /tmp/\[ # 'vi /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca at azazel:~$ cd /tmp/\[ # 'cd /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  
luca at azazel:~$ touch /tmp/'[a]'
luca at azazel:~$ ls /tmp/\[ # 'ls /tmp/['<tab> written
[   []  

As you can see, '[2]' and '[a]' fails to complete. The other files with
'[' and '[]' work well.
