Bash Version: 5.0 Patch Level: 17 Release Status: release Description: When creating an alias containing a path ending with a non-latin (e.g. greek) directory name, a space character is appended to the end of the path, causing the alias to fail. This does not happen when the non-latin part is in the middle and not the end of the path. This behaviour is new to bash v.5.0, worked as expected in v.4.X.
