Hi,

I use bash 4.3.039 and there is a bug (not necessarily a recent
regression) with its file name completion feature.
for example I have this in shell input:
  db.rc $home/Downloads/games/DOS/Captai
and after I press Tab I have this:
  db.rc \$home/Downloads/games/DOS/Captain\ Bible\ in\ the\ Dome\ of\
Darkness.zip
Notice the dollar sign which is now erroneously escaped (home is a variable).



Regards,
Neven Sajko
