Hi GNU coreutils, Today I just tried "cd ~<tabspace>" . After entering this in the terminal it became unable to delete the ~ symbol <meaning the backspace key, enter key , right arrow marks are not detected > and the user have to use the <ctrl-c> to come out of that, to enter other commands. Using a 2.6 Kinux kernel (RH 4)
This is not an issue with GNU coreutils; shell tab-completion is the responsibility of the shell, but you don't say which shell you're using so it's difficult to suggest an alternative mailing list / help forum.

Cheers, Phil
