Bug Description

Binary package hint: bash

I have
bind 'set completion-ignore-case on'
in my .bashrc.

What works:
cd ~/des[TAB]
 -> cd /home/rantalai/Desktop/

When I want run script/command in my Desktop

What I excepted:
~/des[TAB]
 -> /home/rantalai/Desktop/

What happens:
~/des[TAB]
 -> ~/desktop

So word is right but case isn't.

If I wrote (this works)
~/Des[TAB]
 -> ~/Desktop/

MORE:
There are ~/Desktop/aBBa.sh (and nothing else in this directory)
I wrote (this works)
~/Desktop/a[TAB]
 -> ~/Desktop/aBBa.sh

I wrote (one lower b more)
~/Desktop/ab[TAB]
 -> ~/Desktop/abBa.sh

Case is not corrected.
-------------------
Happens with ubuntu 8.04, bash 3.2-0ubuntu18
and ubuntu 7.10, bash 3.2-0ubuntu11

I have also commented the bash-completion to see if it's not the cause of this issue but not.

when we start with a "~/ " the completion is not in the right case like described and it add a space after the completion.

Package: bash
Architecture: i386

On Natty with bash 4.2-0ubuntu3 this is working now.

'set completion-ignore-case on'

cd ~/Desktop
touch aBBa.sh
chmod a+x aBBa.sh
cd
~/Desktop/ab[TAB] #wrong case here
  -> ~/Desktop/aBBa.sh #case corrected (as excepted)
