bash autocompletion not working

When I hit [tab] key in my fingerterm, I expect bash to autocomplete the current command line. But instead it just inputs a tab character.

If I devel-su, then autocompletion works fine.

Anybody has the same problem ? An idea how to fix this ?

If there is more than one possible completion, you have to hit TAB twice to get a list of possible matches.

Other than that, TAB works fine on my phone (1.0.3.8) as a normal user.

Yes, but that is not what was happens on my phone: hitting [tab] inserts a \t character on the command line, which should not be the case (you have to do [ctrl][v] - [tab] to input a tab on the command line.

Maybe this had to do with my .inputrc, since it works correctly now that I disabled POSIXLY_CORRECT var, thanks to #5561.

After a little more research, I found out that #5561 provides a workaround that corrects this problem (along with .bashrc not sourced and start working directory / instead of $HOME).
