Subject:	TAB Completion Not Working
Mime-Version:	1.0
X-MIME-Autoconverted:	from quoted-printable to 8bit by delorie.com id LAA21937

Hello Corinna,

Just updated my Cygwin installation with the latest files from the UK mirror, ftp.mirror.ac.uk, and the TAB completion is still not working. What I find strange is that the previous version, 1.1.8, was working fine. I decided to update last week and it suddenly stopped working. Today I read all the email in the May archive about this problem, then saw your about the update. I downloaded the two new files, bash and ncurses, but nothing changed. I am not expert in this area but I wanted to add my input to Frank-Michael Moser's, since I am experiencing the same problem and the only thing I did was to update to a newer version, without even touching configuration files or anything.

Here are some examples.

First, some version information:

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ pwd
/home/urbanr

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_98-4.10 PW-URBANR 1.3.1(0.38/3/2) 2001-04-24 20:01 i586 unknown

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05.0(5)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)
Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$

and mount information

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ mount
e:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
e:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
e:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
e: on /e type user (textmode)
f: on /f type user (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
g: on /cygdrive/g type user (binmode,noumount)
h: on /cygdrive/h type user (binmode,noumount)
k: on /cygdrive/k type user (binmode,noumount)

(local drives above, network drives below)

l: on /cygdrive/l type user (binmode,noumount)
m: on /cygdrive/m type user (binmode,noumount)
n: on /cygdrive/n type user (binmode,noumount)
s: on /cygdrive/s type user (binmode,noumount)
y: on /cygdrive/y type user (binmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type user (binmode,noumount)

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$

Let's start with the home directory:

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 urbanr   544             0 Jan 10 12:55 rsync

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ cd rs

Hitting TAB will produce the right input:

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~
$ cd rsync/

The next phase is less satisfactory:

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ ls -l
total 400

-rw-r--r--   1 urbanr   544          3848 Jan 10 12:55 win95.txt

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$

If I type

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ desk

and then hit TAB several times nothing happens, despite the fact that desktolap is executable and owned by me (nobody else uses my PC, anyway).

If, instead, I type 

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ rsync

and then hit TAB twice the following is displayed

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ rsync
rsync-2.4.6  rsync.exe

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ rsync

The first item is a directory, the second is an executable within that directory. All the other entries are completely disregarded. However, if I use TAB completion for filenames passed as arguments to other applications, for example cat, then it works fine, as shown below:

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ cat rsync
rsync-2.4.6              rsync-manpage.txt        rsyncd-desk.cfg
rsync-2.4.6.tar.gz       rsync-readme.txt         rsyncd-desk.scr
rsync-faq.txt            rsyncd-desk              rsyncd_conf-manpage.txt

urbanr AT PW-URBANR ~/rsync
$ cat rsync

Any suggestion on what to do or any additional information you would like me to send?

Thanks a lot for your time.

Best regards.
