RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Lubos Kocman 2011-10-20 07:06:25 UTC

Description of problem:

Korn shell on RHEL 6.2 in default configuration (no emacs or vi editing mode)  does not behave like it should during tab completion.

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

ksh-20100621-12.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. ensure that there is no configuration affecting ksh input modes set 
2. type "vim /etc<tab>" into ksh session
3. type "vim /etc/pass<tab>" into ksh session
4. type "vim /etc/passwd<tab><tab>"

Actual results:

step 2 result: /etc/t
step 3 result: /etc/passwds   # passwds file does not exist
step4 result:  (see lines below also see double d in passwdd)

$ vim /etc/passwdd
1) passwd
2) passwd-
$ vim /etc/passwdd

Expected results:


Additional info:

set -o emacs or set -o vi is a workaround

Comment 1 Michal Hlavinka 2011-12-08 08:50:14 UTC

Upstream response:
Completion is part of the emacs and vi editing. One of these need to be
set to use completion.
