[Bug 792341] Re: gnome-terminal is sometimes not adding trailing slash when [Tab] used

[Marius Gedminas]

Tab-completion is implemented by your shell (bash, most likely), not by
gnome-terminal.

Title:
  gnome-terminal is sometimes not adding trailing slash when [Tab] used

Status in bash package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  Steps to reproduce :

  $ mkdir test && cd test
  $ mkdir target
  $ ln -s target backup
  $ ls -l
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomasz tomasz    6 2011-06-03 14:22 backup -> target/
  drwxr-xr-x 2 tomasz tomasz 4096 2011-06-03 14:22 target/

  Now try:

  $ cd ta
  $ cd ba

  Pressing [Tab] expands "ta" to "target/", while "ba" is only expanded
  to "backup" (notice no trailing slash). Although it's consistent with
  ls output, it is a bit counterintuitive, as logically both "target"
  and "backup" are accessible directories.

  What's even more interesting, pressing [Tab] again when "ba" is
  already expanded to "backup" will add the trailing slash ("backup/").
  Also I noticed xterm behaves exactly the same, so the reason must be
  somewhere deeper.
