[Bug 994189] Re: killall incorrect tab completion

[Thomas Ward]

I tested this with Bash and gnome-terminal in 12.04.

This bug exists in Precise, however it exists in all terminal emulators,
tty terminals, and is not specific to gnome-terminal, which suggests
this is a bug with bash-completion or the source pacakge for killall,
psmisc.

Therefore, I am adding that this affects bash-completion, and setting
this for gnome-terminal as Opinion, as this can occur in any and all
terminal emulators, including remote SSH sessions.

I am also adding this to affecting killall's source package, psmisc,
because of the issue that james-plate is having (which I can confirm)
that when you do `killall plugin-container` it cannot find the process,
but can find the process with `killall plugin-containe`.

Title:
  killall incorrect tab completion

Status in “bash-completion” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion
Status in “psmisc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I type in "killall plug" and then hit tab, it completes to
  "killall plugin-container", however when I hit enter it says no
  process found. I have to remove the last r and then hit enter for the
  command to work. Killall tab completion should complete using a list
  of running processes and not guess the process wrongly.
