Maybe narrowing down could shed some light?
At what point in the dir structure does completion stop working?
/o<tab> completes to /opt/ /opt/N<tab> completes to /opt/NetBeans/ /opt/NetBeans/bi<tab> completes to /opt/NetBeans/bin/ (yeah, I know, but it shows completion works) /opt/NetBeans/bin/<tab><tab> only lists the subdirectories, not the two executable shell scripts in that directory.
Hm. I know what it is, though I still don't understand why. In the above I called the directory NetBeans because I couldn't be bothered to type the whole name, which is "NetBeans IDE 3.4". On a hunch I tried renaming it to Netbeans, and then completion worked. I renamed it back to "NetBeans IDE 3.4" and completion stopped working again. Completion worked on the "bin" subdirectory. Completion worked if I preceded the path with "ls". After a bit more experimentation it looks like completion for executables fails if there's a space in a dir name in the path, although completion for anything else seems to work. It almost has to be a bug. //Anders
