Title:
  unwanted space after directory completion (probably old cruft after
  upgrades)

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With bash-completion 2.1, some users are seeing broken completion for
  directories, with a space being added at the end, requiring a
  [BACKSPACE]/[TAB].

  Testcase copied from bug 1000470, which I'm closing because it was
  probably from acroread.sh, which is now blacklisted.

  Extra space scenario:
  find /op<TAB> ==> find /opt<Space>

  Backslash scenario:
  cd ~
  mkdir -p test\ 1/test
  find test\ 1/t<TAB>
  find test 1/test
  find: `test': No such file or directory
  find: `1/test': No such file or directory

  
  This bug can get closed when we find out what other old files get left in /etc/bash_completion.d and cause problems, so we can blacklist them, too.
