Are you sure that in this case there is not a *file* called Documents
(rather than a directory)?

Yup. Absolutely :-)

Do you see this for all directories or is it specific to Documents?
Do you see the effect if you log on as a different user?
Which shell are you using, use
echo $SHELL
or
ps -p $$

Unfortunately you have snipped the original question so anyone reading
this will have to look back in the thread to see what we are talking
about.

It works OK for me in 11.04 32-bit. What version do you have? Have you
installed all updates?


Did you try another directory?

Hello All,

I am on Ubuntu 11.04. I have noticed this weird tab completion
behavior at the terminals.
For example:

Previously:
========
'$ ls ~/Docum<TAB>'

would give:
========
'$ ls ~/Documents/'

which would allow me to type a few more characters and press TAB again
for further completion.

NOW:
=====
'$ ls ~/Docum<TAB>'

gives:
====
'$ ls ~/Documents'

Note the irritating space after the directory name completion above.

How do I get back the previous behavior?

Thanks in advance.



Unfortunately, I was unable to find the reference so far, but this issue
was brought up before, and there is a bugzilla entry with a solution
available.

Replying to myself one last time, but this Launchpad entry has more
detail and more ways to correct it:

Thank you. This solved my issue. I just had to fix a single line at
/etc/bash_completion.

Thanks again.
