Machine Type: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.4
Patch Level: 5
Release Status: release
Description:
------------
Given a filename called ':example'
When the user enters 'command :' and hits <tab>
Then the completion of the filename gets a doubled colon, specifically:
':\:example'
Repeat-By:
----------
Create a filename beginning with a ':' character:
$ touch :example
Type `rm :` and hit tab, then enter.
I'd expect to see:
rm :example
[rm silently deletes it]
Instead I see:
rm :\:example
rm: cannot remove '::example': No such file or directory
