Bash Version: 3.2
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
After triggering directory tab-completion as part of the command in
a command-substitution ( `` or "$()" but not $() ), bash enters a state
where tab-completion appends a / to all matched filenames, not just
directories.
Repeat-By:
complete -r # no programmable completion
cd /tmp; touch example # any file will do
ls examp<TAB> # completes to ls example
`/tm<TAB> # completes to `/tmp/
ls examp<TAB> # completes to ls example/
Fix:
command_subst_completion_function sets rl_completion_append_character = '/'
and nothing ever changes it back.
