Hi all

Since kde 3.2 (I kind of regret upgrading my 3.1

to

3.3.1 because of this), konsole messes up the

display

when doing tab completion and encountering
ambiguities. To reproduce, try:

1. prepare two files in the same directory, called
Test.java and Test.txt
2. open konsole, go to that directory
3. type "file T"
4. hit <tab> (the whole line disappears)
5. hit <tab> again (the line reappears, the line

now

reads "file Test."
6. type "j"
7. hit <tab> (line becomes "file Test.java")
8. hit <enter>
9. file returns "Test.java: ASCII Java program

text"

10. will notice the prompt never returns.
11. hit <enter>
12. you get two new lines

Can someone reproduce this? Shall I file a report?

Thanks & regards
Kevin

I do not see this problem (KDE 3.2.1). What shell
are you using?

I just re-tested and here's the result:

Mandrake 10, KDE 3.2 - OK
SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.3.2 - OK
SuSE 8.2, KDE 3.3.2 - FAILED
SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.3.2 - FAILED

I'm using bash.

On SuSE 8.2 & 9.0 (those failed), the problem exists
in a brand new konsole with 1 tab. If I use the bottom
left icon to open a new shell (tab) in the same
konsole window, the problem goes away.

It is probable (but not 100%) that the answer is in the system and Bash configuration files:


	/etc/profile
	/etc/bashrc
	~/.bash_profile
	~/.bashrc
