I am also suffering this problem in Ubuntu 12.10. Commenting out the sourcing of bash-completion managed to fix it, but the problem is that it disables all of its advantages. The problem must be in one of the various files at /usr/share/bash-completion/completions ,I'd bet. But debugging that until finding the culprit would be a task of true patience.
I tried to build bash manually and it always does the same thing unless I disable sourcing bash-completion. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778627 Title: In natty, bash completion now quotes shell variable references rather than expanding them To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/778627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
