Using cd ~/ results in / and // entries for all directories

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi all,

Since I updated from 11.2 to 11.4 an annoying bug seems to have crept into the shell.

If I type the following and hit tab I get:
cd ~/.kde
.kde/ .kde// .kde4/ .kde4//

i.e. each directory has a / and // version for some reason. I have to enter a / and hit tab again to proceed.

If however I type the following and hit tab I get:
cd /home/tux/.kde
.kde/ .kde4/

i.e. correct as expected.

The ls command does not do this.

This seems like a bug. Any ideas on how prevent this?

Many thanks!

What does ls -l show?

I’ve seen similar symptoms if the directories are actually symlinks.

They are normal directories. No symlinks.
