Title:
  completion errors while using single and double quotes

Status in bash-completion package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash-completion

  I experienced some completion errors while using both single and
  double quotes. Here is what happens:

  luca at luca-laptop:~$ mkdir foo\ bar
  luca at luca-laptop:~$ touch foo\ bar/file
  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat "fo<TAB>
  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat "foo bar"/<TAB>
  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat /

  If I move the slash inside the quotes, and press tab right after it,
  the completion shows the files in current dir, not the written one

  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat "foo bar/<TAB>"
  <list of files in home>

  If I move the slash inside the quotes, and press tab after them, this
  is what I get:

  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat "foo bar/"<TAB>
  luca at luca-laptop:~$ cat \"foo\ bar/\"

  This didn't happen in Jaunty, seems to be a regression.

  System: Ubuntu 9.10
  bash: 4.0-5ubuntu2
  bash-completion: 1:1.0-3ubuntu2
