Tab Completion Blocks Keyboard Input
Metadata
Current evaluation
Misfiled 2017 report: `snap install --devmode <TAB>` freezes console input. Concerns snapd's `snap` CLI bash completion, not snapcraft. No labels, no maintainer response, 0 comments.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The reproducer exercises `sudo snap install --devmode`, and the reported versions are snap/snapd 2.23.6+17.04.1 on Ubuntu 17.04 — no snapcraft version is given, and nothing in the report touches snapcraft. The snapcraft snap only declares `completer: completion.sh` for its own `snapcraft` app (snap/snapcraft.yaml:46); the `snap` command's completion is installed by snapd at `usr/share/bash-completion/completions/snap` (visible in tests/integration/services/valid_projects/devel_snapd/snapcraft.yaml:466), so the defect lives in snapcore/snapd, not this tracker. It has also been demonstrably obsoleted: 3446 days, 0 comments, no labels, and snapd 2.23.6/Ubuntu 17.04 are long EOL with a since-rewritten completion. Migrating to snapcore/snapd is the only viable path, so it should not remain in snapcraft's queue.
