Hi F23 testers,

having a directory xyz with a subdir called

vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10

This subdir has some entries:

drwxrwxr-x 3 backes backes        4096 Oct 12 18:01 Machines
drwx------ 4 backes backes        4096 Oct 15 06:59 VirtualBox VMs
-rw------- 1 backes backes 20409483264 Oct 15 07:35 win10.vdi

1.cd to xyz.
2.ls -l vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10/M<TAB>
    will not complete to vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10/Machines, and I
    don't understand, why. Is this a bug in the filename completetion?

No problem, if renaming

vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10 to
vb-2015-10-15_07-51-53-win10

So it seems that the ":" in the filename "vb-2015-10-15_07:51:53-win10"
is the culprit.

The bash command "complete" gives no help!

Any comments are welcome.

Kind regards

Joachim Backes.
