Wed 25 Mar 2015 10:49:08 AM UTC, comment #1: Not a bash bug. This is a bug in the bash-completion package, which is independently developed. Please report this to them.	Eduardo Bustamante <dualbus>
Sat 07 Jun 2014 04:09:59 AM UTC, original submission: Bash tab-completion fails for file names containing new lines. It provides multiple selections which correspond to the separate lines contained in the file name: example: $ python -c "open('foo\nbar','w')" $ ls foo?bar $ ls ./f bar foo	Anonymous
