Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3
Severity: normal

Hello,

quotes confuse bash-completion, and I don't think they should. For
example:

$ mkdir "p's"
$ touch p\'s/test
$ ls p\'s/

Here TAB fails to complete to test. The same happens with double
quotes:

$ mkdir 'p"s'
$ touch 'p"s'/test
$ ls p\"s/

If both folders exist, something even more surprising happens:

$ ls p\"

Pressing TAB, I would expect this to complete to p\"s, but instead the
trailing \" is removed, and both folders are presented as possible
completions.

Philipp
