I've reported that upstream to bug-bash@gnu.org with "bashbug" -- stay tuned...
and I already got an answer from Chet Ramey: Yes. Look at the bug-bash list archives for extensive discussion on this topic. There will be several changes and fixes in the next bash release to address this and other completion issues. and later: If you read further in that thread, you'll find a message I sent out on 9/2 containing a patch that adds a `direxpand' option. The new option is intended to restore the bash-4.1 behavior of performing word expansion on variables in directory names when completing. It works pretty well; there are a couple of rough edges that will be worked out. Look for <4E612F5B.5040003@case.edu>. which is http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-09/msg00007.html with his patch http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2011-09/txtbfgKuDx2Eo.txt and shopt -s direxpand bash-4.2 again works fine like in the good old days -- hooray!!! <PLEASE> add that bash patch and "shopt -s direxpand" in the login setup for 12.1-final !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! </PLEASE> -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
