[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#1078939: zsh: incorrect expansion with expand-or-complete and single quote

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: zsh
Version: 5.9-8
Severity: normal
Forwarded: https://zsh.org/workers/53040

Consider a directory with the following 3 files: a'1 a'2 ab

I get as expected:

disset% echo a\'*
a'1 a'2

But if I type [Tab] (expand-or-complete) after a\'*, I get

disset% echo a\'1 a\'2 ab

instead of

disset% echo a\'1 a\'2

Now, consider a directory with the following 2 files: a'b'1 a'b'2

I get as expected:

disset% echo a\'b\'*
a'b'1 a'b'2

But if I type [Tab] (expand-or-complete) after a\'b\'*, this is not
expanded, while I should have obtained

disset% echo a\'b\'1 a\'b\'2
