Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 37
Release Status: release
Description:
Interrupting a bash completion script kills the line's first character.
Repeat-By:
# systemctl status foo
[ press TAB ]
# systemctl status foo.service
[ press TAB again, by mistake, nothing happens ]
[ type xy, nothing happens because the expansion is still busy ]
[ type ^C to interrupt ]
# systemctl status foo.service ^C
[ cursor is on top of the ^ character ]
[ I press ENTER ]
bash: ystemctl: command not found
[ like, duh? ]
[ history also shows "ystemctl" ]
Fix:
<up> ^A s <enter>
works of course, but I'd rather not have a spuriously deleted first
character.
