Description Matthew Miller 2008-04-28 15:22:30 UTC
You can do "chown mattdm.ap[tab]", but "chown mattdm:ap[tab]" results in "chown
apache" (oops!). This is particulary odd because if you do "chown mat[tab]" you
get "chown mattdm: " with a : on the end.

Comment 1 Ville Skyttä 2008-04-28 17:07:01 UTC
I can't reproduce this on F-8, 20060301-10.  Sound similar as bug 444466, maybe
something's changed wrt. colon handling in F-9/Rawhide bash?

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2008-04-28 17:17:38 UTC
On a CentOS 5 box (which is to say, circa FC6) with bash-completion-20060301-10
rebuilt and installed I get different misbehavior -- it completes 'chown
mat[tab]' to "chown mattdm\: ", and then if I backspace and hit tab again I see
all the group options but if I then continue with 'chown mattdm\:mat[tab]' it
completes that to "chown mattdm\\\:mattdm", which of course is also wrong.

So I agree, *something* has changed. But it wasn't right before either. :)

Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2008-04-28 17:24:35 UTC
That's what I see on F-8 too, but I'd like to first concentrate on the
regression, then see if something could be done to the original issue.

Could you post your F-9 output with set -x for "chown mattdm:apa[TAB]"?  As said
I suspect this is the same issue as #444466 but the output there (thanks btw) is
quite complicated, this test case could produce a simpler one.

Comment 4 Matthew Miller 2008-04-28 17:30:41 UTC
$ chown mattdm:apa+ local cur
+ cur=mattdm:apa
+ [[ mattdm:apa == -* ]]
+ _count_args
+ args=1
+ (( i=1 ))
+ (( i < COMP_CWORD ))
+ case $args in
+ _usergroup
+ local 'IFS=
'
+ cur=mattdm:apa
+ [[ mattdm:apa = *@(\\:|.)* ]]
+ [[ mattdm:apa = *:* ]]
+ '[' -n '3.2.33(1)-release' ']'
+ COMPREPLY=($( compgen -g -- ${cur##*[.:]} ))
++ compgen -g -- apa
        apache 


Comment 5 Ville Skyttä 2008-04-28 19:40:29 UTC
Damn, I have no clue what might be causing this.  The output I get on F-8 is
exactly the same as yours except for the last line, yours is "<TAB>apache" (or
maybe <TAB> is 8 spaces), mine is "che":

-        apache
+che

...and there's nothing between the F-8 and devel bash packages that would look
like a possible culprit, there's just one trivial .bash_logout change and a GCC
4.3 rebuild.  And I can't reproduce in a mock Rawhide x86_64 shell either.  Ideas?

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 444466 ***

Comment 7 Matthew Miller 2008-05-05 18:09:38 UTC
I'm gonna reopen this one, because while the problem with it entirely eating the
word does seem to be gvfs's fault, the incorrect behavior in Comment #2 is still
there.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:18:42 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 9 Ville Skyttä 2008-11-13 19:53:49 UTC
Bug 444466 deals with the gvfs issue, so I suppose this should be assigned back to bash-completion.  Or actually, based on the info I've been able to find, perhaps to bash itself or closed CANTFIX, see e.g. http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67108#c5 .  Thoughts?

Comment 10 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 00:29:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 12 Ville Skyttä 2010-04-27 18:12:07 UTC
This has been fixed after bash-completion 1.1 upstream; the next version (which I hope isn't that far in the future) should contain the fix.
