Description of problem: 
 
bash auto-completion has late response 
 
if I use tab (auto-completion) it don't work immediatelly - the word 
is not completed to maximum common prefix of some word wich do have 
a common prefix, but it does complete it after any key press 
 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
bash-2.05b-36 
 
How reproducible: 
always 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
1. find some folder with files which do have common prefix 
2. type a shorter prefix of that prefix 
3. press tab - nothing happens 
4. press any key - word is completed 
   
Actual results: 
bash auto-complete don't work well 
 
Expected results: 
word should be tab auto-completed right after pressing tab

Works for me.  What does 'locale' say?

Comment 2 Colin Charles 2004-03-03 08:52:21 UTC

Also using bash-2.05b-36, I tried this and it seems to be an issue - I
have to press the tab key twice before I get a choice. An example:

OOo_680m22
OOo_680m26
OOo_680m26_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz
OpenOffice.org1.1.0
OpenOffice.org680
OpenOffice.org - Is it an alternative to MS Office.sxi

If I do "ls O", I don't get any response as to the options available.
Pressing the tab key the second time, shows the above output.

Locale is en_US.UTF-8 (Fedora standard).

That said, this bug is *not* Fedora specific. I think its an upstream
bash issue, since I have also been able to repeat it on Debian.

Colin -- that is expected (and documented) behaviour, and different to
the reported behaviour in this bug.  You have typed the entire common
prefix, not a shorter prefix.
