Backslashes show up in autocomplete output on fedora

[MasterOdin]

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to report, but I'm currently experiencing problems with auto-completion after installing it via dnf install tldr, it is placing backslashes behind every space, which is trashing the completion into a single line of items.

tldr --update_cache
# tldr[TAB] adds one space normally
# tldr[TAB][TAB] shows every package available in a single line as if there was one completion option
tldr \ \ pacman\ query\ \ \ \ insmod\ \ \ \ st\ \ \ \ cockpit\ ws\ \ \ \ ntfsfix\ \ \ \ distrobox\ host\ exec\ \ \ \ ostree\ \ \ \ timeshift\ \ \ \ pamac\ \ \ \ uuid\ \ \ \ ip\ route\ list\ \ \ \ a2query\ \ \ \ daemon\ \ \ \ pw\ play\ \ \ \ mkinitcpio\ \ \ \ id3v2\ \ \ \ at\ \ \ \ ego\ \ \ \ sacctmgr\ \ \ \ smbclient\ \ \ \ sar\ \ \ \ toolbox\ init\ container\ \ \ \ pmount\ \ \ \ nmcli

System information:

• tldr 3.1.0 (Client Specification 1.5)
• Fedora 38 (6.2.12-300.fc38.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC)
• Bash version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

Reproducted this problem with: Arch Linux, tldr-3.2.0-1, bash-5.2.026-2

Can confirm that this is an issue still on the latest version. This is what I get for tab completing rsync
$ tldr rsync\ \ en\

I'm the maintainer of the tldr package in Fedora, so if there is anything wrong with how it's packaged into the OS, let me know, and I can fix it. The build process is described in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tldr/blob/rawhide/f/tldr.spec, but some parts are cryptic if you are not familiar with packaging.

I'm using Fedora 42, tldr 3.4.0 installed from Fedora repositories, and zsh and completions work only for cached commands. When I cleared the cache, the completion did not offer all possible commands.

I get the same issue on Arch so it's probably not a packaging issue. Most likely there is a problem with the completion script

Oh I see. Run tldr --list and the issue is kind of the same.
