I just noticed this issue too. It seems it was fine under gnu screen, but not
with plain xterm or gnome-terminal. Upgrading to the latest patch version
4.0.17 fixed it.

Try adding spaces or other special characters to the value of
$makeTempFileName. The variable should be expanded during the rescan

Since $parameter does not contain any tab characters there is no tab

After you mentioned it, I remembered reading about eval a long time ago
and couldn't understand what it was good for. Now I know. Thank You.
Why the backslash before the $ ?
I tried it with

I experimented a bit. See the attachment.
The first 3 dumpit outputs are expected. The next 2 are not. The last 2
show what I would have expected from the previous 2.
The $' inside the [] is being used up

In bash 4, you can use associative arrays, which gives you what you
really want.

It appears that indirection can only be used as an rvalue. Is there any
way to use indirection as an lvalue?
This is a trivial example, but gives you the idea.
for x in 'VAR_A' 'VAR_B' 'VAR_C'; do
# What I'd like to say is
!x="hello"
done
resulting in 3 variables getting assigned a value,
I know that
parameter="${parameter//[0123456789]}"
will remove all numerics
What I want to do is remove all the space and tab characters.
So far I've only been able to do it as follows:
parameter="${parameter// }"#:# Convert any spaces to null
parameter="${parameter//'\t'}"
