bash tabcompletion broken in 4.2, I know this is an upstream problem, but I think it deserves a higher importance as you can no longer tab complete anything with an environment variable in it, if you do that path is broken and requires manual editing to fix, and it used to work.
ls $HOME/tm<tab> 4.1.5 gives ls /home/david/tmp/ and the directory listing on enter, 4.2.20 gives ls \$HOME/tmp ls: cannot access $HOME/tmp: No such file or directory What I do more frequently is get the absolute path of a file in the current directory to give to another program. ls $PWD/.bashrc<tab> was ls /home/david/.bashrc now ls \$PWD/.bashrc I'm confused on this post and proposed direxpand option fix. The way I'm reading this bash 4.2 will be broken by default hitting tab on a valid path (if you press enter), $HOME/tmp/ will be replaced by an invalid path \$HOME/tmp/ and that is a bug, adding an option to cover that up doesn't change it. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-09/msg00007.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
