@ joerg: but the default interactive behaviour has changed $ shopt direxpand direxpand off And one needs to manually re-enable that option to get previous behaviour. The template you posted lacks required information.

The impact should describe what is being changed (underquoting + new option).

[Bug 778627] Re: In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them
This bug was fixed in 4.2-3 upload, and hence is fixed in quantal and raring. However, there is a new option that one needs to set - direxpand. direxpand If set, bash replaces directory names with the results of word expansion when performing filename completion. This changes the contents of the readline editing buffer. If not set, bash attempts to preserve what the user typed. bash (4.2-3) unstable; urgency=low * Apply upstream patches 025 - 029, fixes for - When used in a shell function, `declare -g -a array=(compound assignment)' creates a local variable instead of a global one. - The `lastpipe' option does not behave correctly on machines where the open file limit is less than 256. - When the `extglob' shell option is enabled, pattern substitution does not work correctly in the presence of multibyte characters. - When using a word expansion for which the right hand side is evaluated, certain expansions of quoted null strings include spurious ^? characters. - Bash-4.2 tries to leave completed directory names as the user typed them, without expanding them to a full pathname. One effect of this is that shell variables used in pathnames being completed (e.g., $HOME) are left unchanged, but the `$' is quoted by readline because it is a special character to the shell. This patch introduces two things: - A new shell option, `direxpand', which, if set, attempts to emulate the bash-4.1 behavior of expanding words to full pathnames during completion; - A set of heuristics that reduce the number of times special characters such as `$' are quoted when the directory name is not expanded. * Mark bash and bash-static as Multi-Arch: foreign . Closes: #674120. * Avoid warning for unset debian_chroot with -u (Marko Mäkelä). Closes: #659940. * Fix string expansion: \u and \U for code points U+0080 to U+00FF (Darran Salt).

I am also suffering this problem in Ubuntu 12.10. Commenting out the sourcing of bash-completion managed to fix it, but the problem is that it disables all of its advantages. The problem must be in one of the various files at /usr/share/bash-completion/completions ,I'd bet. But debugging that until finding the culprit would be a task of true patience. I tried to build bash manually and it always does the same thing unless I disable sourcing bash-completion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778627 Title: In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/778627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 778627] Re: In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them
Interestingly I can reproduce this issue only on some machines, but not on all of them despite they all have bash 4.2. I could reproduce it on Natty and Precise, on Debian Wheezy, and on one, but not on all of my Debian Sid boxes (4.2-5). Disabling the sourcing of /etc/bash_completion (either manually enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc) made the problem vanish on Debian and on Natty, but not on Precise. Even purging bash-completion did not help on Precise. And that's not all: While on precise using "bash --rcfile /dev/null" still did not fix the issue, it brought the issue back on Natty. And on Debian Sid it still worked as expected, i.e. did not add any backslash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778627 Title: In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/778627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I upgraded to bash 4.2.36(1), and the problem is only half fixed. On older versions of bash (certainly in the bash2 vintage), cd $VARIABLE/ offered completions.

SOLUTION: This was a bug in bash which is fixed in patch bash4.2-029.
