I just did a big Cygwin upgrade, which included a jump to bash 3.00.16(11)
from 2.x. Completion now seems a bit broken:
[tmp] $ ls a. (press TAB)
a.el a.html a.txt
[tmp] $ ls a.. (extra period shown but not really there)
My PS1 is set thusly:
PS1="\[\e]2;\H (\u) \w\a\][\W] $ "
The bug goes away if I do
PS1="$ "
I don't see this on a Fedora system running bash 3.00.16(1).
Known bug? Problem on my system? Is there other useful info I could
offer?
FWIW, I see the same thing. After the extra period appears, if I hit
Ctrl-L to clear the screen, the extra period is still there, but if I hit
Ctrl-A (beginning of line), then Ctrl-L, the extra period disappears. If
I move the cursor back and forth on the line while the extra period is
there, hitting Ctrl-L now and then, various weird things happen with the
characters moving about on the command line.
It isn't just periods at the end of lines - it's any character at the end
of the uncompleted line.
