$HOME is a good example as a testcase, but a terrible example of it actually being a problem, because ~/file.txt is easier to type anyway.
$OLDPWD is more annoying. I think progcomp used to expand the variable on your cmdline, and then of course completion just worked normally. I think that expansion was a bug, and now we're exposed to this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890913 Title: Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/890913/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
