MacPorts bash completion leaves tty echo off after tail -f

[jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)]

Enable the following in your bashrc:

if [ "${BASH-no}" != "no" ]; then
    if [ -f /opt/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
        . /opt/local/etc/bash_completion
    fi
fi

Run the following using tab-completion to complete the path to system.log:

$ tail -f /var/log/system.log

Hit control-c to end the tail.

You will notice that tty echo is off at this point.

Note that this happens with no scripts in /opt/local/etc/bash_completion.d

This happens with /bin/bash, but it works fine with /opt/local/bin/bash

I was able to reproduce this, yet I don't see anything where bash-completion would set flags on the tty. I suspect this is a readline bug, but can't confirm it yet.

I have found this same issue to exist with the stock bash and bash-completion as provided by Homebrew (​http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/).

Right, it's an issue with bash-completion rather than bash itself.

I am unable to reproduce this issue with /bin/bash and bash-completion @1.3_0.
