[Bug 1087996] Re: Completion of cp command adds space instead of slash to directories

[Peter Cordes]

If this wasn't /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh (which is now
blacklisted), then add info to bug 1372286.  If we can file more
problematic files to blacklist, we can prevent this problem for other
people.

 Closing this because it was reported against a version before the
acroread blacklist was added.

Title:
  Completion of cp command adds space instead of slash to directories

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When using tab-completion for the cp command, when completing
  directories, the completion inserts a space instead of a slash after
  the name. This causes much backspacing and retyping.

  Expected behavior:
  cp ~/src/pr<TAB>
  cp ~/src/projects/j<TAB> ==> ~/src/projects/java/
  cp ~/src/projects/java/pom<TAB> ==>~/src/projects/java/pom.xml<SPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects/java/pom.xml ~/tmp/

  Actual behavior:
  cp ~/src/pr<TAB> ==> ~/src/projects<SPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects <BACKSPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects/j<TAB> ==> ~/src/projects/java<SPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects/java <BACKSPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects/java/pom<TAB> ==> ~/src/projects/java/pom.xml<SPACE>
  cp ~/src/projects/java/pom.xml ~/tmp/

  This works as expected on Ubuntu 12.04 Server, and I'm pretty sure it
  used to work on Kubuntu 12.04 (what I am running) until relatively
  recently, maybe just a couple of weeks ago.
