Description

I recently upgraded from 5.2.2 to 5.4.0. When I did, I started experiencing issues with my tab completion, particularly when trying to autocomplete paths. For example, if I hit [tab] at the end of a directory name, I no longer see a list of all the files in the directory. I get:

![screenshot from 2018-02-12 16-39-49](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8493770/36121639-d1e606f6-1014-11e8-8be9-61ad9656899c.png)

The files in the directory are listed, but they're buried in a long list of python objects. I haven't messed with this a lot, because I don't really know how to start debugging, but I did try reverting back to 5.2.2, which didn't help.

Also, I upgraded a lot of packages all at once through `conda upgrade --all`, so this could be a bug resulting from another upgrade. Here's the full output of `conda list --revisions`:
