Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 42
Release Status: release
Description:
dabbrev-expand supposed to menu complete using history where most
recent entries are presented first. However, it seems like the entries are
sorted.
This is from the release notes of bash-4.1: "Changes to dabbrev-expand
to make it more `emacs-like': no space appended after matches, completions are
not sorted, and most recent history entries are presented first.
This bug has been verified on bash 4.4 as well as on bash 4.3.
Repeat-By:
Execute in this order:
$ ls ~/tmp1
$ ls ~/tmp2
$ ls ~/tmp3
then begin typing:
$ ls ~/t
and press dabbrev-expand shortcut key. This appears:
$ ls ~/tmp1
press dabbrev-expand key again, and this appears:
$ ls ~/tmp2
press dabbrev-expand key again, and this appears:
$ ls ~/tmp3
