Description of problem: Without bash-completion, in a directory having e.g. a file called "somepackage-1.23.45.tar.gz", you could do stuff like this: cp *1.23.45*<Tab> which would expand the command line to the complete file name: cp somepackage-1.23.45.tar.gz At this point you could continue editing the line. With bash-completion installed (as is the default on F-16, that's why I labeled this as a regression over F-15), pressing Tab results in no action at all, neither expansion nor anything else. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-completion-1.3-5.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Reproducible Steps to Reproduce: See above. Actual results: Nothing happens when pressing <Tab>. Expected results: Expands to filename (or show alternatives if there is more than one file matching the glob), then lets me continue editing the command line.
This is a known problem in bash-completion but not a regression in it - bash-completion has never supported that behavior as far as I can tell. http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=311982&group_id=100114&atid=413095
