Tab autocomplete in terminal is not behaving properly

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 9618 / 2 Years ago, sat, december 11, 2021, 4:55:21

There's something odd about my autocomplete in the gnome terminal.

I used to be able to type cp Downtab to get cp Downloads/, and then type Jettab to end up with cp Downloads/Jet Pack Instructions.pdf

But now, when I have cp Down typed and hit tab, I get cp Downloads with a space afterwards. And if I backspace that and make it say cp Downloads/Jet and hit tab, I get cp Downloads/Jet Pack Instructions.pdf without the backslashes.

It wasn't like this before. How do I fix this?

EDIT: There's a problem with my /etc/bash_completion file, it seems. Just not sure what.

It is caused due to acrobat reader.
The file is -

/etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh

Removing this file, worked correctly for me.
