Bug Description

Binary package hint: bash

When I use TAB to autocomplete a directory called 'foo', I get 'foo/'
When I use TAB to autocomplete a link to directory called 'foo', I get 'foo' on the first press of tab, then the trailing slash on the second.
When I use TAB to autocomplete a link directory called 'foo bar' with a space, I get 'foo\ bar' and no trailing slash. Pressing TAB again does nothing.

Confirmed. This also happens without the bash-completion script, so it is a bug in bash.

There hasn't been any activity in this ticket for a while. Is this still a problem in Jaunty or Karmic?

No further information has been provided. The "foo\ bar" example given in the original problem report works fine for me in Karmic.

Closing as fix released.
