Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.0-3
Severity: normal
I had a friend test this in Fedora where it works.
Example:
$cd ~
$mkdir tab
$cd tab
$mkdir "dir 1"
$mkdir "dir 2"
$cd ~
$ls tab<TAB>
yields:
$ls tab/
$ls tab<TAB><TAB>
yields:
$ls tab/dir\[space]
TAB'ing further yields nothing, whereas in fedora it lists 'dir 1' 'dir 2' and what else there's in tab/
I can come up with a multitude of examples from dirs with subfolders with more than one space in them:
I have a folder named "Elbow" and in that album there are several albums named like this:
Elbow and the BBC Concert Orchestra - The Seldom Seen Kid Live at Abbey Road
Elbow - Asleep In The Back
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Now, if I cd into "Elbow" and do this:
$ls E<TAB>
it will yiels this:
$ls Elbow\[space]
TAB'ing further does nothing, entering more of a foldername and TAB'ing to my hearts delight yields nothing either
My memory might be weak, but if I am completly mistaken, this did use to work earlier?
Cheers
