Tab completion should complete the name of variable. (11.3 behavior) Tab completion now also backslash escapes the initial $ making the variable unusable. (11.4 behavior) complete (TAB) Attempt to perform completion on the text before point. Bash attempts completion treating the text as a variable (if the text begins with $), username (if the text begins with ~), hostname (if the text begins with @), or command (including aliases and functions) in turn. If none of these produces a match, filename completion is attempted. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a variable in the environment (with a fairly unique name to simplify this example) 2. at a bash prompt, type a $ and the first unique portion of the variable name 3. hit tab Actual Results: example ~$ export UNIXSCRIPTS=/home/me/InCVS/UnixScripts ~$ cd $UNI(tab)(cr)

cd \\\$UNIXSCRIPTS bash: cd: \$UNIXSCRIPTS: No such file or directory

The tab inserts the three backslashes before the dollar sign. Expected Results: example ~$ export UNIXSCRIPTS=/home/me/InCVS/UnixScripts ~$ cd $UNI(tab)(cr)

cd $UNIXSCRIPTS ~/InCVS/UnixScripts$ ls ....
