Description Ted Pavlic 2011-05-11 02:12:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
After a recent update to bash-completion, tab completion of commands like:

cp
rm
mv
ls

and others remove escaped spaces. For example, if there is a directory called "This Directory", doing:

cp This\ <tab>

will result in:

cp This Directory

without an escaped space. The command "cd" does escaping properly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 14

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Issue: mkdir 'This Directory'
2. Issue: cp This\ <tab>
3.
  
Actual results:
Command is replaced with:
cp This Directory

Expected results:
Command should be replaced with:
cp This\ Directory
or a quoted form. The correct behavior exists already with
cd This\ <tab>
which is replaced properly.
