[Bug 103395] [NEW] Unexpected results for bash autocompletion

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

Binary package hint: bash

Open  a terminal, then type this:

nice -19 ls De<TAB>

nothing happens. This might be due to the 'magic' scripts not working
properly. Then type this:

time nice -19 ls De<TAB>

and you'll get: time nice -19 ls nice

which is really strange. Now type this:

time nice -19 rsync -av De<TAB><TAB>

and you'll get:

dfokkema at betelgeuse:~$ time nice -19 rsync -av rsync bash: COMP_WORDS: bad array subscript
bash: COMP_WORDS: bad array subscript
bash: COMP_WORDS: bad array subscript

I think this is really broken, ;-) My guess is that it has something to
do with the minus signs. One for brokenness, two for really brokenness,
;-)
