RE: bash 3.x path completion problems


I figured out it happens only with colored command prompt. Probably, I
have some errors in ansi codes, I tried different variants, here are
some of them:

PS1='\[\033]0;\w\007\033[32m\]\u\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\$ '
PS1='\[\033[32m\]\u\[\033[0m\]:\[\033[33m\]\w\[\033[0m\]\$ '

If I remove all ansi codes from PS1, everything looks as expected.

Please, point me, what do I do wrong.. I liked my colored string so much.. :)

The problem is that 'qqq/qq/' thing. This was never happened to bash 2.05b.

The real question is whether the trailing 'qq/' is actually there in the input buffer or if it's just an optical illusion caused by the readline bug. What happens if you immediately press enter?


BTW with all the latest updates (including cygwin dll from cvs, but that's probably not relevant) I can't reproduce your example:
