Summary: cd autocompletion fails when two folders share the first letters and contain spaces 
Distribution: --Distribution-Agnostic--
Originally reported in: Debian BTS
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 


Initial Comment:
- OS:     OSX 10.9.4
- bash (installed with Homebrew):  GNU bash, versión 4.3.18(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13.3.0)
- bash-completion2 (installed with Homebrew):  2.1

I do source the bash_completion file (brew --prefix points to /usr/local/ where the brew stuff is installed):

  source $(brew --prefix)/share/bash-completion/bash_completion


Issue description:

~# mkdir "qwe asd 1"
~# mkdir "qwe asd 2"

~# cd qwe + TAB (press TAB multiple times)

Nothing happens, it writes:

  cd qwe\ asd\

but nothing else, and in case you append "1" or "2", it does neither work.

NOTE: ls command does work in the same scenario!

NOTE: I attach a working patch (tested in my OSX) extracted from a bug report in Debian:

BTW, and I sorry for the comment, but this is the worst issue tracker I've ever seen.

NOTE: It seems that the issue affects bash 4.3 only.
