[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#619898: bash-completion: new mail prompt while completing

[Paul Slootman]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:1.3-1
Severity: normal

$ grep -r fhqs ruYou have new mail in /home/paul/Maildir/

I hit <tab> after "ru", and apparently new bash processes are forked
when doing the completion which causes the new mail message to appear
and mess up the output (ctrl-L is needed to let bash correctly update
the line after that).

I never saw this happen in earlier versions (presumably up to 1:1.2, but
I can't be sure of that; the previous stable version certainly did not
suffer from this).


Thanks,
Paul
