Machine Type: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release
Description:
Also affects Bash 4.0.33.
When a filename begins with a backtick ` then tab-completion works
as expected if you go \`<tab>, however if you try to tab-complete
the filename inside single quotes, several strange behaviours appear.
Repeat-By:
1) '`<tab> This causes all commands available on the system to be
listed such as `awk `bash etc., even though it's inside
single quotes.
2) '`text<tab> This completes the filename, but it does not insert a
trailing single quote as tab-completion would usually do.
3) '`dir<tab> This completes the directory name and adds the trailing
forward slash, but not the trailing single quote.
4) 'text`<tab> This completes the filename and closes the single quote
as expected.
5) '`text<tab>' When using tab-completion inside single quotes on a
filename beginning with a backtick, then it completes
the filename and adds an additional closing single quote,
e.g. '`filename.txt''
6) '`dir<tab>' When using tab-completion inside single quotes on a
directory name beginning with a backtick, then it
completes the directory name and adds an additional
closing single quote after the directory name and before
the forward slash, e.g. '`directory'/'
