Description of problem: I have a directory (say ~/x), containing the files "Asturias.html" and "Schulmeister.ogg". Going to this directory (cd ~/x). Then ls S<tab> expands to ls Schulmeister.ogg. This is OK firefox S<tab> does not expand S to Schulmeister.ogg. This seems to be wrong. firefox A<tab> expands to Asturias.html. OK eeeee S<tab> expands to eeeee Schulmeister.ogg though eeeee is an unknown cmd. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash-completion-1.3-6.fc16.noarch bash-4.2.10-4.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: 1.See description 2. 3. Actual results: See description Expected results: Correct filename completion Additional info: If trying the same in F15, bash expands the filenames as expected.
(In reply to comment #0) > ls S<tab> expands to ls Schulmeister.ogg. This is OK Yes, it makes sense to complete all files after a "ls". > firefox S<tab> does not expand S to Schulmeister.ogg. This seems to be wrong. > > firefox A<tab> expands to Asturias.html. OK bash-completion completes only various different HTML file suffixes after "firefox". I don't think opening *.ogg with Firefox is what people generally intend to do. If you disagree with what bash-completion does to the firefox command completion, you can remove that particular completion with "complete -r firefox" in your ~/.bash_completion or use Alt+/ instead of Tab when completing which bypasses bash-completion. > eeeee S<tab> expands to eeeee Schulmeister.ogg though eeeee is an unknown cmd. bash-completion only affects completions that it explicitly installs completions for, and obviously eeeee is not one of them, so what you're getting for it is bash's default completion. > If trying the same in F15, bash expands the filenames as expected. bash-completion is not installed in F15 by default, but it is in F16. If you dislike its effects, you can just remove the bash-completion package or disable it on per user basis with for example "shopt -u progcomp" in ~/.config/bash_completion
