Bash Version: 4.3 Patch Level: 42 Release Status: release Description: In an interactive session, when attempting file completion via <Tab> when a certain type of ill-formed command substitution is present, bash gives verbose error output relating to "unexpected end of file". Naturally you can work around this by never making this mistake when using command substitution, but it seems to me bash can probably guard for this and avoid disruptive error messages. Repeat-By: In an interactive session, type the following: $ echo "$(echo " ~/ (Note the missing close-parenthesis.) With the cursor at the end of this line (i.e. after the "/",), enter a tab. Bash should prompt with a listing of the given directory. Instead, the following is shown: $ echo "$(echo " ~/-bash: command substitution: line 87: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' -bash: command substitution: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file -bash: command substitution: line 87: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' -bash: command substitution: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file -bash: command substitution: line 87: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' -bash: command substitution: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file -bash: command substitution: line 87: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' -bash: command substitution: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file -bash: command substitution: line 87: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' -bash: command substitution: line 88: syntax error: unexpected end of file I apologize that I'm unable to offer a solution.
