Bash Version: 4.3
Patch Level: 39
Release Status: release

Description:
	Autocompletion fails for files starting with an opening square bracket and having closing bracket somewhere in the filename.

Repeat-By:
	$ mkdir temp && cd temp
	$ mkdir -p one/{\[bad\]\ folder,\[yet\]\ another\ bad\ folder}

	Now try

	$ cd one<TAB>    # cd one/\[   ← should appear

	$ mkdir -p \[one\]/{\[bad\]\ folder,\[yet\]\ another\ bad\ folder}

	Type

	$ cd [<TAB>   # cd \[one\]/   ← should appear
	$ cd \[one\]/<TAB>    ← further completions do not work

	$ mkdir -p \[two\]/{\[bad\]\ folder,\[yet\]\ another\ bad\ folder}

	$ cd [<TAB>  # cd \[   ← should appear
	$ cd \[t<TAB>  # ← doesn’t work.
	$ cd \[tw<TAB>  # ← doesn’t work.
	$ cd \[two<TAB>  # ← doesn’t work.
	$ cd \[two]<TAB>  # ← doesn’t work.
	$ cd \[two\]<TAB>  # ← doesn’t work.

	But if you type

	$ cd [two<TAB>  # cd \[two\]/  ← should appear

	Surprise — this works! However…

	$ cd \[two\]/<TAB>  # ← no further completions work :(


Fix:
