[OK, here's the message body I _thought_ I sent with the cygcheck
output which is all that appears to have been received...]
I _think_ this is a regression, but my memory for this sort of thing
is terrible.
With libreadline7-6.3.8-1, given that I have
/c/Program Files
/c/Program Files (x86)
/c/ProgramData
If I type
> cd /c/Prog[tab]
I get [bell/flash] and
> cd /c/Program
All correct so far
> cd /c/Program[tab]
[bell/flash]
> cd /c/Program[tab again]
Program Files/ Program Files (x86)/ ProgramData/
> cd /c/Program
Still as expected
> cd /c/Program\ [tab]
[bell/flash]
_Not_ as expected, should give
Program Files/ Program Files (x86)/
> cd /c/Program\ Files
Overriding the standard (Linux too, where I cannot reproduce the problem)
complete -o nospace -F _cd cd
with
complete -o default -F _cd cd
fixes this, but I don't _think_ it used to happen.
Related (?) problem
> cd /c/'Prog'[tab]
should result in
> cd /c/Program
but in fact just gives [bell/flash]
Can anyone reproduce, either correct behaviour with earlier readline
and/or earlier bash-completion than 1.3-1, or same problem as me?
Or have I inadvertently screwed something up?
Thanks

Hi Henry,
I had the same trouble as you describe and I was using your workaround,
but then I realized that find is broken in the same way. So, I did some
research and found out that Debian and Ubuntu have solved this problem
by patching /etc/bash_completion as described in the following URLs:
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739835>
<https://code.launchpad.net/~jjo/bash-completion/quote_readline_by_ref_fixes/+merge/210930>
I think Cygwin should incorporate the specified patch file in its
bash-completion package.
Regards,
George

Great sleuthing, thank you very much. Over to the bash maintainer,
please.

Yes, I'm overdue on pushing an updated bash-completion out...
