Bash Version: 4.0
Patch Level: 10
Release Status: release

Description:
        This sequence of actions causes bash not to autocomplete when it should
        ({key} means "type this key"; carriage return is explicit):

        --Session A--                 --Session B, same directory--
        rm -f foo*{return}
                                      cat foo{tab}
        touch foobar{return}
                                      {tab}

        At the first {tab}, bash finds that "foo" has no completion. At the
        second {tab}, bash finds that it can now complete to "foobar". However,
        it shows a list of possible completions with one choice instead of
        completing to "foobar" right away.

        If the order of the touch and cat is reversed, bash immediately
        autocompletes to "foobar" as expected.

Repeat-By:
        See description.
