Details

When tab-completing a directory name containing "special" characters, such as space, brackets, parenthesis, etc, hitting tab again to complete file or directory names further down in the directory hierarchy does not work.

I've managed to pinpoint the problem to the current version of readline, i.e. 5.2. When using the former version (5.1.4) tab-completion works properly.

Simple test:
$ mkdir "with space"
$ mkdir nospace
$ mkdir "[brackets]"
$ touch with\ space/hello
$ touch nospace/hi
$ touch \[brackets\]/hmm
$ ls nospace/hi <------- Here, "hi" was written just by tabbing
$ ls with\ space/ <------- Here tab doesn't give any result
$ ls \[brackets\]/ <------- Lots of tabbing here, no result
