Hello,
I'm using this version of bash:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.45(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>

on Fedora 20.
If I enter
$ ls $HOME/Do
and press the Tab key, bash expands to
$ ls \$HOME/Documents
(notice $ is replaced with \$). This is from my point of view an annoying
anti-feature, since I must then remove the escaping back-slash. What's going
on?
I should state that the only reason I noticed this is that I don't have a ~ on
my current keyboard, but still this seems like a valid bug report to me.
Best regards,
Diggory Hardy
