[Bug 883268] Re: bash ls tab completion broken for files/dirs with spaces in name

[Peter Cordes]

If this wasn't /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh (which is now
blacklisted), then add info to bug 1372286. If we can find more
problematic files to blacklist, we can prevent this problem for other
people.

 Closing this because it was reported against a version before the
acroread blacklist was added, so it's maybe different even if it's
"back".

Title:
  bash ls tab completion broken for files/dirs with spaces in name

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Running updated ubuntu 11.10, tab completion fails to escape spaces in
  filenames for some commands.

  To repeat:
  mkdir "abc def"
  touch "abc def"/xyz
  ls ab<TAB><ENTER>
  Expected: 
  xyz
  Observed: 
  ls: cannot access abc: No such file or directory
  ls: cannot access def: No such file or directory

  Also affects tab completion for 'touch', but not for 'echo' or when
  looking for commands.

  This worked fine in ubuntu 11.04.
