However, I could reproduce it after I removed the '=' character from the set of characters in $COMP_WORDBREAKS, but then all completions after an '--option=' are affected, e.g. 'pulseaudio --daemonize=t<TAB> becomes 'pulseaudio true', too. Could you tell us the content of your $COMP_WORDBREAKS using the output of the following command (to make the included space, tab and newline visible): printf "$COMP_WORDBREAKS" |tr ' \t\n' STN ; echo If it's indeed the case that $COMP_WORDBREAKS is missing the '=', then you should add it back and check whether it fixed the issue. If it did fix it, then you should try to figure out how the '=' got removed from there. Perhaps you used a program that ships its own completion script whose developers changed $COMP_WORDBREAKS to their liking, not knowing about its effect on other completion scripts. Gábor
