java tab auto-completion does not work?[solved]

Hi, thanks for reading my post. I have the following packages installed:

core/bash 4.3.042-4 (base) [installed]
    The GNU Bourne Again shell
extra/bash-completion 2.3-4 [installed]
    Programmable completion for the bash shell

and I am running bash. However the java tab auto completion does not work at all. For example if I have a Main.class file under ./, then pressing tab at

java [tab]

or

java M]tab]

does not have any response. On the other hand auto completion works just fine for commands like ls, rm etc. So far java is the only command affected.

Thanks in advance

I think you'll find tmux autocompletion is also broken in this version (as was mpv in the previous)...

On the other hand, Zsh has no issues!

Glad it is a bug (or should I be glad?...) Thanks for the information I will try Zsh instead.
