Bug #12315: OptionParser parses quoted --dash strings in 2.3.0

• Backport: 2.1: UNKNOWN, 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN

[mreq (Petr Marek)]

Working on 2.2.4:

wmctile -c -x 'subl --new-window' --switch-to 'sublime_text.Sublime_text'

On 2.3.0, it fails:

wmctile -c -x 'subl --new-window' --switch-to 'sublime_text.Sublime_text'
wmctile/bin/wmctile:23:in `<main>': invalid option: --new-window (OptionParser::InvalidOption)

As seen above, even though the --new-window is a part of a string, OptionParser tries to handle it.

I can't reproduce it.

$ ruby -roptparse -e 'ARGV.options{|opt|opt.on("-x=STR"){|x|p x}; opt.parse!}' -- -x 'a -b'
"a -b"

Is wmctile in wmctile/bin?
Isn't it another wrapper shell script file?
What does type wmctile show?

It's working now on a different machine. Might've been a local problem. Sorry for bothering. How do I close this bug?
