[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#520026: mc: ESC+TAB unnecessarily quotes ~ in path names

Hi,
I can reproduce this bug.
when enter the following command line :

	cd ~/Desk 			completion-->  cd \~/Desk

and also with:
	
	cd ~/ 				completion-->  cd \~/

and
	 
	~/ 					completion-->  \~/

I work on this bug since 3 days without find exactly where is the issue.
But with gdb I could find functions who are calling by "~/" :

src/complete.c
==============
line 75 -- filename_completion_function()



and 


mhl/escape.h
============
line 72 -- mhl_shell_unescape_buf()  called in filename_completion_function



I think the issue come from the '\\' skipover, but where ? ...


Best regards

Denis Briand
