2011-05-10 11:33:12 Scott Severance description Binary package hint: bash In maverick, lucid, and other even way older releases, I could use tab completion on a filename with characters with special meaning to the shell (e.g. spaces): matt@lemmankinan:/tmp/complete-test$ ls File with spaces.txt matt@lemmankinan:/tmp/complete-test$ mv File\ with\ spaces.txt .. (on second line, type "mv F<tab> .." However, in natty, this is broken for many (though strangely not all) commands: matt@sampo:/tmp/complete-test$ ls File with spaces.txt matt@sampo:/tmp/complete-test$ mv File with spaces.txt .. mv: cannot stat `File': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `with': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat `spaces.txt': No such file or directory (again, typing "mv F<tab> .." If I start with a quote, e.g. "mv 'F<tab> .." that will work. There's also an additional problem with directory names. If I e.g. mkdir -p abc/def/ghi and try to move the above file, if I tab-complete the "abc" directory, it will end with a space instead of a slash, so I cannot complete further directories. Again, this works just fine in older releases.
