Re: Bug report: Bash version 4.3.11: complete: -i: invalid option on TAB auto completion

[Eduardo Bustamante]

I cannot reproduce this on bash 4.4:

    dualbus@yaqui:~$ { for i in '-i' '\t' '\t' '\t' '\n' 'exit\n'; do
sleep 1; printf -- "$i"; done } | script --command 'bash --norc
--noprofile'
    Script started, file is typescript
    bash-4.4$ -i
    bash: -i: command not found
    bash-4.4$ exit
    exit
    Script done, file is typescript
    dualbus@yaqui:~$ bash --version

Do you have the bash-completion package installed? It sounds like the
bug is in that package, which is external to the GNU bash project
