This can't be the problem! Otherwise, I would have similar problems

I think it is a problem.... Why?
If I
mkdir vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10 and then do
touch vb-2015<TAB> I get it expanded to....
touch vb-2015-10-15_07\:51\:53-win10/
notice the : are being escaped.
My question is: why?
For example:
"mkdir a:b:c " runs without escaping the ":" chars!
And then "ls a:b:c" runs without escaping ":" too.
Here you are not using the bash shell to interpret the argument. Instead
you are using /usr/bin/mkdir and /usr/bin/ls.
I think, we should stop the discussion here. Nobody contributing to this
thread could give me a solid explanation for the special treatment of
":" during filename comptetion.
Nevertheless, thanks to all for their comments.
Kind regards
