Public bug reported: Tab completion of directory paths containing single quotes is broken like so:
$ mkdir -p "a'b/c" $ cd a\'b/ # pressing tab won't complete the 'c' dir as opposed to: $ mkdir -p "de/f" $ cd de/ # pressing tab here completes the 'f' dir just fine, to 'de/f/' I initially thought this was Bug #1485777, but the reason I'm not so sure anymore is that for me, a manually appended \' does not disappear (unlike for the reporter of #1485777). This does however also seem like a regression back to the issue of Bug #590829.
