Using bash with app-shells/gentoo-bashcomp-20190211 installed, I do not get any results when trying to tab-complete "--deselect". E.g. "emerge --desel<tab>" does nothing. Other flags are completed fine.
I am also encountering this issue. --deselect is a frequently used option that removes packages from the system. It will need to be fixed.
Why is this issue so critical, yet left unaddressed for so long? --deselect is an important and frequently used option that removes packages from the system.

Please be more polite in future. 2. Bash completion is not generally considered a "critical issue" when compared to handling security updates and fixing serious showstopper bugs. 3. Someone started working on this in the last 10 days: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo-bashcomp/pull/6.
