[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#741903: bash-completion: only directories listed when path starts with ~/

[Paul Brossier]

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm not sure this is the package causing the bug, but since recently,
a path starting with ~/ only gets completed with directories, not files.

Here is an example:

$ mkdir ~/testing_completion
$ touch ~/testing_completion/foo
$ mkdir ~/testing_completion/bar
$ mkdir ~/testing_completion/baz
$ ls ~/testing_completion/<tab>
$ ls ~/testing_completion/ba<tab><tab>
bar/ baz/ 

my home is encrypted using ecryptfs.

cheers, piem
