Bash Version: 4.2 Patch Level: 0 Release Status: release Description: Hi! Example: In bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release: $ echo $PWD/<TAB> will expand the $PWD variable to your current directory while in bash, version 4.2.0(1)-release: $ echo $PWD/<TAB> will just escape the $ in front of the $ variable i.e: $ echo \$PWD/ The shell-expand-line (Ctrl-Alt-e) works but before I could use just TAB Any hints why? Any way to get the 4.1 behavior in 4.2? Can someone confirm... Is this a bug or a feature? Thanks in advance Michael
