In xfce terminal on Debian autocomplete doesn't work for executing

bash-autocomplete is installed. But it doesn't work when trying to execute a script like so

user$ ./myscript.sh

It's especially bothersome when the script name is long. What works is specifying the command like

user$ bash ./myscript.sh

Then autocomplete works properly. Why so? I remember being able to execute stuff the former way on other systems.

Hello and welcome.

Is your script marked executable?

chmod +x myscript.sh
