[PATCH] Fix custom program's completions when initial word is set

Show all headers | View raw

The change to fix mid-word initial completion inadvertently broke custom
command completion.
To reproduce:

cat > repro<<EOF
_repro()
{
  echo "completed"
}
EOF
source repro
complete -I -F _repro
git sho
      ^ tab, nothing happens

This is because if complete -I is set, iw_compspec will always be
non-null and therefore foundcs will always be set to false and bash
will ignore the result of programmable_completions().
The fix is to only override foundcs if both iw_compspec is not null
and we are not in command position.

Dear Maintainer,

noticed this a bit too late after some more testing. This fix appears
to work, let me know if you'd like a different solution.
Thanks!
