Hi GNU coreutils,
Today I just tried "cd ~" .
After entering this in the terminal it became unable to delete the ~ symbol

This is not an issue with GNU coreutils; shell tab-completion is the
responsibility of the shell, but you don't say which shell you're using
so it's difficult to suggest an alternative mailing list / help forum.

Perhaps try waiting a minute for the requested username completion. I
suspect the shell is blocking while performing a network lookup for all
valid usernames on your system.
Cheers,
