Yep, some things work others don't.

if I type sh<tab> then I get 'show '

sel<tab> give 'select '

but I thought I was able to type
select * from tbl<tab>
and that this used to give me all a list of all the table names that 
started with tbl (or if there was only one it would just auto complete it 
of course).  Now I just get the mysql commands and none of the nice 
tablename and fieldname completion that I'm sure used to be there (or was I 
just wishfully dreaming??).

Here's the full list of what I get if I just press tab without entering 
anything:
?                 ego               notee             show fields from
alter table       exit              pager             show keys from
clear             explain           print             show tables
connect           go                quit              source
create database   help              rehash            status
create table      insert            replace           tee
delete            load data from    select            unlock tables
drop              lock tables       set option        update
edit              nopager           show databases    use

interestingly, if I type sh<tab> I get 'show ' but if I type show ta<tab> I 
don't get 'show tables' which is what I would expect.

If there is anything else that I can provide to help sort this out I'd be 
only too happy to.

cheers,

noel
