Bash autocomplete doesn't escape SPACE and doesn't mark directories in Ubuntu 11.4

Question

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.4 and I'm having problems with Bash autocomplete

for example, if I want to cd to Calibre Library directory, when I type

cd Cal<TAB>

I get

cd Calibre Library CURSOR

the autocomplete just prints the file/directory name, without escaping the SPACE or any other non alphanumeric characters, and it doesn't mark directories, it is really annoying

I've looked through /etc/inputrc and even added

# append a '/' to show a dir is a dir
set mark-directories on
set mark-symlinked-directories on

but it doesn't help :(

It is due to a conflict between bash-completion 1.3 and acroread. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/745833 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/716008 . A workaround is removing /etc/bash_completion.d/acroread.sh, then execute . /etc/bash_completion.
