$ ./configure $ make $ echo "$BASH_VERSION" 5.2.15(1)-release
$ declare -A associative_array=([key]=~/Desktop)
$ ls -d "${associative_array[key]}"
ls: cannot access '~/Desktop': No such file or directory
but:
$ ls -d ~/Desktop
/home/marco/Desktop
On my previous version 5.1.4(1)-release the tilde expanded just fine.
