[Bug 1289303] [NEW] Breaks completion of file paths beginning with ~/

[Max Bowsher]

Public bug reported:

On trusty, with bash-completion installed, I can't tab-complete paths to
files beginning with ~/

Only directories are offered as completion candidates.

This completion works correctly when the bash-completion package is
purged, reverting to basic built-in completion.
