TAB button doesn't work properly
Hi,

I have list of files under a directory as shown below.

Code:
/home/root 
-rw-r--r-- 1 user 0 Aug 27 06:08 rough.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 user 0 Aug 27 06:08 test.sh

Now when i use to read the rough.txt, i did cat r and then pressed TAB button. Below is the resulting string after pressing TAB button,

Code:
$ cd rough.txt o
$ cd test.sh e

What am i doing wrong here?
