Hi,
Hmm, that is odd. OK, first question: does this happen no matter whereabouts in the filesystem you are ? In other words, does tab completion only disconnect you if you try to use it in one particular place (a sub-directory of your home directory, say), or does it happen even if you're somewhere else, like / or /tmp, say ?

gnome-ssh-askpass
GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1) General Commands Manual GNOME-SSH-ASKPASS(1)
NAME
gnome-ssh-askpass - prompts a user for a passphrase using GNOME
SYNOPSIS
gnome-ssh-askpass
DESCRIPTION
gnome-ssh-askpass is a GNOME-based passphrase dialog for use with OpenSSH. It is intended to be called by the ssh-add(1) program and not
invoked directly. It allows ssh-add(1) to obtain a passphrase from a user, even if not connected to a terminal (assuming that an X display
is available). This happens automatically in the case where ssh-add is invoked from one's ~/.xsession or as one of the GNOME startup pro-
grams, for example.
In order to be called automatically by ssh-add, gnome-ssh-askpass should be installed as /usr/bin/ssh-askpass.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables are recognized:
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_SERVER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the X server before asking for a passphrase.
GNOME_SSH_ASKPASS_GRAB_POINTER
Causes gnome-ssh-askpass to grab the mouse pointer using gdk_pointer_grab() before asking for a passphrase.
Regardless of whether either of these environment variables is set, gnome-ssh-askpass will grab the keyboard using gdk_keyboard_grab().
