Machine Type: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.2
Patch Level: 46
Release Status: release
Description:
The bash [tab] completion as found on redhat RHEL7.6 fails with a
filename that has the = character. This happens when there are multiple
matches for the part before the = character.
The behavior is correct when there is only one match, or when the
readline 'complete-filename' is invoqued using "meta /"
Repeat-By:
touch foo=bar
touch foobaz
#type
ls foo=
#press [tab] to get completion
ls foo=foo\=bar
ls: cannot access foo=foo=bar: No such file or directory
