Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Bash tab-completion fails for file names that contain newlines. It
provides multiple selections which correspond to the separate lines
contained in the file name.
For example:
$ python -c "open('foo\nbar','w')"
$ ls
foo?bar
$ ls ./f #and then tab complete
bar foo
