           Summary: bash completion chokes on ~
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 12.1

For many commands, I noticed that bash completion chokes on ~. For example, if
I type:
$ vi ~/Docu<TAB>
bash will complete that to:
$ vi ~/Documents
Notice the lack of trailing /, which prevents me from typing the beginning of
the next file name component directly. As long as I don't type / myself, bash
completion is stuck and won't go further.

After noticing that not all commands are affected, I tracked it down to the
_exp_ function which is defined in /etc/profile.d/complete.bash. If I remove
the -F _exp_ from vi's "complete" definition, the problem disappears. So the
problem is that this _exp_ function misbehaves if the object of the completion
starts with ~.

This is a minor thing for sure, but pretty annoying for daily work, so a fix
would be welcome.
