[Bash-completion-devel] Bug#810490: bash-completion: completion with single-apostrophe does not continue beyond the first '

Package: bash-completion
Version: 1:2.1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

* i have two filenames which happens to have a single-quote character ' in it.
* the extension of each file is different.
* pressing tab completes BEYOND the apostrophe, up to the part where the
  files differ
* pressing tab a second time FAILS
* typing any letters (even a single letter) and then pressing tab FAILS

so it would appear that the single-quote, once in the buffer of
characters that have already been completed, causes any further
completion to fail.
