auto-completion of bash shell commands are not working

auto-completion of bash shell commands are not working on v18.0.0

auto-completion command with TAB work on 17.3.0

I can confirm I am seeing a related problem in that my .bash_profile is no longer running in 18.0.0.

I suspect the default shell is different between 17.3.0 and 18.0.0.

Having a configuration option to select bash, zsh, etc might be a reasonable path forward.

Same issue here on version 18.0.0, it seems that I get dropped in a sh shell instead of a zsh shell. Everything works normal if I run zsh to get into a proper zsh shell. Not sure what happened in the latest update

Same here- autocompletion, as well as other commands and aliases are not working. It seems the default ash shell is loaded instead of zsh, although zsh is installed and works when its run manually (as mentioned by @NodeJSmith).
Somehow zsh is not started when a new terminal session is opened.
Restarting the addon, or uninstalling and reinstalling the addon, does not solve the issue for me. Going back to v17.3.0 does run zsh as default shell.

Same issue for me - unfortunately, I've created #744 (comment) before reading this one as the title did not suggest similarity.
