[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#557366: bash-completion: Doesn't complete filenames in a folder with quote symbols.

[Philipp Weis]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3
Severity: normal

Folder names with quotes confuse bash-completion.

$ mkdir a\'b
$ touch a\'b/test
$ cp a\'b/

The completing for the cp (or ls, mv, ...) parameter hangs after the
first folder name and doesn't complete to the filename.

Interestingly, it works with commands unknown to bash-completion.

$ ll a\'b/test
$ xyz a\'b/test

work just fine.
