Status: Open
Priority: 3
Submitted By: Daniel Black (grooverdan-guest)

Summary: variable expansion in command line escaped 
Distribution: None
Originally reported in: Ubuntu Launchpad
Milestone: None
Status: None
Original bug number: 890913


Initial Comment:
as per: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/89091
Typing "prg $HOME/<tab>" expands to "prg \$HOME/" quite annoying, shall expand to "prg $HOME/" listing all directories and files available for expansion, not creating an escaped string from $HOME. It should KEEP $HOME, not expanding it to your home directory as with some program named done!

still present in 1.90 release

Same problem here, same env as Daniel has.

Just a hunch, maybe this is somehow related to https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=313480&group_id=100114&atid=413095

is it likely to be a 1.91-1.99 fix?

"prg $HOME/<tab>"  expands to "prg /home/user/" for me.
