Not fixed in Ubuntu 15.10.
The problem occurs if completion expands to a name containing spaces. For
example "Virtual Box VMs" in $HOME
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. mkdir $HOME/'DIR WITH SPACES'
2. echo $HOME/DIR<tab>
RESULTS:
echo \$HOME/DIR\ WITH\ SPACES
EXPECTED RESULTS:
echo $HOME/DIR\ WITH\ SPACES
$ apt-cache policy bash bash-completion
