[Bug 1292249] [NEW] bash completion doesn't work if multiple files with space in name

[Thierry Mallard]

Public bug reported:

To reproduce :
cd /tmp
touch "foo bar"
touch "foo boo"
ls foo (then press Tab key several times)

=> The two names should appear, but it doesn't work.

Doing the same thing with simple filename (without spaces in them) seems
to work fine.
