Title:
  automatic tab completion does not work

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Tab completion is not working with most of the commands.

  It works with "cd" and not with any another commands.

  When I type "mkdir /t" and then press tab it completes into "mkdir
  /tmp " . Note the space at the end. It should complete to "mkdir
  /tmp/".

  Similarly for files with a space in the name, it does not
  automatically add the "\ " but just adds the " " space character. So
  the commands do not work.

  I have attached the output of dpkg -l, because i suspect it is broken
  due to some package.
