[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#624497: zsh: completion on brace + 4 characters doesn't work

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 4.3.11-4
Severity: normal

I have the following problem with both zsh and zsh-beta:

xvii% autoload -U compinit; compinit
xvii% ls -a
.  ..  abcdef
xvii% echo ./{abcd

Here when I hit [Tab], nothing is completed. However, the completion
works if I remove the d. Same problem with the old completion system.

This seems to be specific to Debian:
