Some commands in bash creates problem if there is an space (" ") in file/folder name.
E.g. cd works fine, but mv does not. Example

> cd ./Dropbox/How[tab is pressed] ----> cd ./Dropbox/How\ to\ think\ like\ a\ computer\ scientist\ Learning\ with\ Python/[cursor]

but

> mv ./Dropbox/How[tab is pressed] ----> cd ./Dropbox/How to think like a computer scientist Learning with Python [cursor]

Which is impossible to work with. I am trying to figure out what causes this. I have narrowed it down to .bashrc but don't know exactly what the problem is.
I am on debian testing, using terminator as terminal emulator
