Listmates, Below is a bug I filed against the kate/kwrite auto-completion feature. It's self-explanatory. What I want to know is if anyone else has noticed it and if so, has anyone else found a work-around? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203039 <quote> Auto completion in kate/kwrite is very inconsistent in the way it works compared to the kde3 version. In kde3, though annoying at times, auto completion worked on every word, every time. In kde4, just the opposite is happening. Realistically, auto-completion works correctly about 30% of the time. 40% of the time it will not complete the word (variable) you want it to complete, and the remaining 30% of the time, auto-completion is hit-or-miss working sometimes and then not for the very same variable. Auto-completion is enabled with the default minimum word length to complete set at 3 (default). The link below is a kate screenshot showing the cursor immediately after: cp $k $DUPD where $DUPD should be auto-completed to $DUPDIR but kate will not complete the word no matter what. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/kate-comp... Whatever is preventing auto-completion from doing its job needs to be fixed. Like I said, though slightly annoying, in kde3 auto-completion worked every time for every word over the minimum completion length, consistently and every time. Auto-completion in kde4 is "like a box of chocolates", you never know what you are going to get. This is much more annoying than knowing what to expect. If you can think of a test to help narrow down the problem, let me know and I'll be happy to run it. Thanks. </quote> -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
