Tab completion does not work correctly on newly created files. Version-Release number: bash-2.05b-5 How Reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a shell: mkdir tempdir cd tempdir ls xy<TAB> (and don't press return). (<TAB> = press the tab key). 2. In a second shell, 'touch tempdir/xyzzy' 3. In the first shell, type <TAB> again. Actual Results: The single possible completion (xyzzy) is displayed on a line, but the command line being edited does not change: ~/tempdir$ ls xy xyzzy ~/tempdir$ ls xy Expected Results: The string "xy" should be completed to the single possibility: ~/tempdir$ ls xyzzy
This is intentional behaviour, according to the maintainer.
