Package: bash
Version: 3.2-4
Severity: normal
Tab-completion of mutt mailboxes by using a = prefix doesn't properly
complete in the mutt-configured folder.
For instance, if a user's mutt folder is specified to be ~/mail, and
they type "mutt -f =d<tab>" in bash, the expected behavior is to
complete for files using the string "~/mail/d".
Instead, the = is chopped off because it is set as one of the
COMP_WORDBREAKS (I'm not sure where this is set), and so the completion
function sets $cur to "d", and never executes the special code block
corresponding to $cur starting with =.
The fix for this is to set $cur to `_get_cword =`, since _get_cword
accepts as arguments tokens to remove from COMP_WORDBREAKS. This
ignores =, $cur gets set to "=d", and the completion is done using the
string "~/mail/d".
