It's https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1390061 And it's been fixed in git for a while now. The pattern was supposed to match a literal ~ at the front of $1, to see if that's what the completion word started with. BTW, the correct fix is to replace it with \~*, if you don't want to just grab the upstream bash_completion and plonk it down over Ubuntu Trusty's /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion. https://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=bash-completion/bash-completion.git;a=blob;f=bash_completion;h=55c9e48661028cee71301fd244c12d516303d437;hb=HEAD (I'd go with upstream, there are a couple other bugfixes, and it works fine on my trusty system.) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@cor , des.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
