Title:
  Autocompletion does not work correctly with special signs

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  The autocompletion of the terminal does not work correct for some
  special signs, e.g. if I edit a file by

      vim "A123\$B123#<test>_asd"

  it is not possible to get it for autocompletion afterwards.

  If I enter cat `A123\$B123#` and then hit tab two times, the file is
  display correctly, but if I then enter `<` and hit tab, it is
  completed to cat `A123\$B123#<A123\$B123#\<test\>_asd` which does not
  exist (so the full file is appended after `<`, not only the additional
  part.

  I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with newest updates, including gnome-terminal
  3.28.2.
