I have an env var, WWW=/home/www/felix, which I have always used with |
| 2 |
tab completion without problems. |

|
| 4 |
cd $WWW/ht<tab>ph<tab>20110318 |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
would expand in steps |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
cd /home/www/felix/htdocs/ |
| 9 |
cd /home/www/felix/htdocs/photos/ |
| 10 |
cd /home/www/felix/htdocs/photos/20110318 |

But some recent bash upgrade has scuppered this. <tab> no longer |
| 13 |
expands the $WWW; instead, it escapes the $, adds a space at the end, |
| 14 |
and thinks itself clever. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
cd \$WWW/ht ph |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
which does me no good. |

I'll be danged if I can figure out any google-fu to search for this, |
| 21 |
and 'bash help' and 'info bash' have done me no good either. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I do not know which specific bash upgrade changed this, since I don't |
| 24 |
have very many of these env vars I used similarly. The current "bash |
| 25 |
--version" is 4.2.8(2)-release, gentoo version is app-shells/bash-4.2_p8. |
