CLI quotes handled wrong

Hi,

LibreElec 11.06 with RI3B

When using the CLI and using the "cd" command. Directory names are wrongly completed when using the tab icw quotes.

fe the path is :
~/music/Prince - Xenophobia (2003)

When typing the following:
cd "~/music/Prince - X<tab>

Is is being completed with as:
cd "/storage/music/Prince - Xenophobia\ \(2003\)/"

which results in:
-sh: cd: can't cd to /storage/music/Prince - Xenophobia\ \(2003\)/: No such file or directory

When typing the following:
cd "/storage/music/Prince - Xenophobia (2003)"

Resulting, correct:
hostname:~/music/Prince - Xenophobia (2003)

Is this a minor bug?

Busybox ash is not as feature complete as bash.

cd /storage/music/Prince\ -\ Xenophobia\ \(2003\)/ will work, Omit the quote when using tab completion.

cd "~/music/Prince - X<tab>

You provide a wrong syntax to autocomplete. The parser don't know whether you need quotation marks or escape characters, so you get both, which is wrong.
