Title:
  autocomplete not working with escaped characters

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After installing 14.04, bash's autocomplete is failing to complete
  anything which ends in an escaped character, like a space or
  parentheses.

  If I type

  ls myfile\(

  and press tab once or more, nothing happens, even if files myfile(*
  exist.

  Instead, it should do a unique autocomplete (tab) or list all options
  (double tab), like it used to
