Hi,
I've been having this problem with bash for about half a year now. I
can't remember the specific upgrade that caused it, but that's around
the time frame.
So the issue is with tab completion, and looks something like this:
snapshot 1:
$ cd ~/../
snapshot 2 (after tab-tab):
$ cd \~/../
snapshot 3 (after further tab-tab):
$ cd \~/../
.ssh/ tmp/ workarea/
My main problem is with snapshot 2. By my understanding, the path that
bash has modified to is no longer a valid path. snapshot 3, and further
actions from there back it up, because bash is no longer looking in the
right place.
I have tried this with bash-completions disabled, and the same thing
happens.
I do have a non-conventional setup of my home directory:
$ echo ~
/cygdrive/c/Users/sbaddah/cygwin-home
A hunch of mine is that the contents of ~/../, aka
/cygdrive/c/Users/sbaddah/, are involved. As recent Windows editions
seem to include a lot of "virtual" type folders/links that I've never
quite got my head around/
In lieu of providing a cygcheck.out, which I will do if it is absolutely
necessary. here are the details of my cygwin install:
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 AUD-R87FXYH 1.7.16(0.262/5/3) 2012-07-20 22:55 i686
Cygwin
$ cygcheck -cd bash
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version
bash 4.1.10-4
Any ideas?
