Hi. I have bash 5.2.15(1). When I cd into an empty directory, and type "cd

$HOME. How can I make it not do that and only offer me things I ask for?
Do you perhaps have the CDPATH variable set? That might affect tab
completion for the cd command.

In fact I do. Good catch. Any idea where it could be set, other than the
places I looked?
