Bash Version: 5.2
Patch Level: 32
Release Status: release
Description:
If the wordlist given to `complete -W` includes words
containing the ':' character, completion misbehaves.
The problem seems to occur if two or more words in the wordlist
share a common prefix ending with ':'. The problem does not
occur with other characters; I've tried '/' and '_'.
Repeat-By:
Execute the following commands:
say() { echo "$@" ; }
complete -W "abc:abc abc:xyz" say
Type "say " at the prompt, then type <TAB> repeatedly.
Each <TAB> character appends "abc:" to the argument.
It should append "abc:" the first time, then offer a choice
between "abc:abc" and "abc:xyz".
