Public bug reported:
While migrating to a new computer from KDE Ubuntu 22.04 to a brand-new
Gnome 22.04 install, I noticed the terminal autocomplete works, however
when pressing "tab" to autocomplete filenames as parameter names for a
command, the autocomplete doesn't work inline, only in the line below
with the full output of ls.
For instance: typing
```
ls -al m<tab>
```
used to autocomplete to
```
ls -al myfile
```
in KDE and older Ubuntu versions I used, but in the new one it's not and
instead I see the following:
```
ls -al m
myfile
```
If I log via ssh into my KDE machine and type the autocomplete, it works as it
used to, so that ruled out a Terminal or Gnome issue.
Digging further revealed that the /etc/bash-completion.d/apport file
which came in Ubuntu is the file causing this. The file came with the
fresh install. The KDE environment didn't have that file.
I removed that file and autocomplete works as it used to.
There might be a bug in that apport autocomplete needing fixed.
