Problems with Bash Completion

thfr · 2011-02-23 10:39:27

Hi,
I recently noticed an odd new behavior of the bash-completion package.
For example:
Lets say there is folder called 'Downloads'. The oldd behavior was:

mv Dow[tab]
mv Downloads/

Now, it's like this:

mv Dow[tab]
mv Downloads 
(with a space after 'Downloads')

It's annoying because, you can't get an ls output when pressing tab again.

Another example: Let's assume there is a file called 'some file.txt'
Old:

mv some[tab]
mv some\ file.txt

New:

mv some[tab]
mv some file.txt

Pretty annoying too. mv doesn't work anymore because of the space in the filepath.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
