[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#608046: bash-completion: Completion of inserted option after command throws bash error

[Javier Moreno López]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.1-3ubuntu2
Severity: normal

This is hard to actually capture since apparently a carriage return is
output and overwrites the rest of the line..

ssh -i bash: $index: substring expression < 0

Basically, to reproduce, try this:

1. type 'ssh someuser at somehost'
2. move cursor back between ssh and someuser
3. type '-i ' and hit TAB
4. Error happens.

NOTE: You must follow the instructions exactly. If you do 'ssh -i' and then
hit TAB, it works.

Tested on Lucid 10.04, Maverick 10.10 and Natty 11.04. All amd64 computers.
