[Bug 1849090] Re: Autocompletion does not work correctly with special signs

[David Georg Reichelt]

The bug only happens if a file with an equal prefix exists, e.g. after
`vim 'A123$B123#asdasd'`.

I am using bash, but the problem also happens in zsh if I enter
`A123\$B123\#`, hit tab, enter `<` and than hit tab again. It does not
happen in zsh if I hit tab again and again and it switches between all
files in the folder.

Title:
  Autocompletion does not work correctly with special signs

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

Bug description:
  The autocompletion of the terminal does not work correct for some
  special signs, e.g. if I edit a file by

      vim "A123\$B123#<test>_asd"

  it is not possible to get it for autocompletion afterwards.

  If I enter cat `A123\$B123#` and then hit tab two times, the file is
  display correctly, but if I then enter `<` and hit tab, it is
  completed to cat `A123\$B123#<A123\$B123#\<test\>_asd` which does not
  exist (so the full file is appended after `<`, not only the additional
  part.

  I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with newest updates, including gnome-terminal
  3.28.2.
