Usability issue: Auto completion behaving badly

[m4dc4p]

I've found a usability issue with the autocompletion lists that come up.

1) Type a receiver and "." to get the list of method names to come up
2) Type a method that does NOT exist in the list (for example, self.foo). Notice the list of methods stays up
3) Hit enter - your method disappears.

Working around this requires that I hit "ESC" to close the list before hitting enter, or my code disappears.

Thanks again for your time and attention.

Yes, I have seen this same thing.  It really gets you when you type an entire line like:

Code:

foo.value = xyz + something_else

Then if the completion list is still up for "value" and you hit enter at the end of the line, the entire thing gets erased.  It seems that the completion list should disappear when the user presses space, enter, or "="

Thanks. We know about that one. It should be fixed shortly.
