Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: normal
Hi!
Since some few weeks now tab completion on filenames that live in a
directory with spaces in them don't work anymore. They stop after the
directory is completed.
This is a quick test-case:
#v+
rhonda at edna:~$ cd /tmp/
rhonda at edna:/tmp$ mkdir just\ a\ test
rhonda at edna:/tmp$ touch just\ a\ test/foo
rhonda at edna:/tmp$ touch just\ a\ test/bar
rhonda at edna:/tmp$ ls just\ a\ test/<tab><tab><tab>
[nothing]
rhonda at edna:/tmp$ l just\ a\ test/<tab><tab>
bar foo
rhonda at edna:/tmp$
#v-
Would be extremely convenient if that would work again. I tried with
several commands like vim, touch, ls, cd, all of them had this problems.
Not sure if this bug is related to #503691, if this is the same issue
then sorry for the duplicate, but this is really a pain to have to use a
non-existing command to actually be able to complete. :/ And like
mentioned, it was differently before, it just did happen recently to not
being able to do that anymore, I unfortunately can't pin-point in which
version, though. :/
Thanks,
Rhonda
