5.30b7 Autocomplete opens to slow or is gray

NicTheQuick · **Posted:** Mon Jun 23, 2014 10:12 am

Hi there,

small example: If I type 'struc' into the IDE, wait for the autocomplete window (some milliseconds to 1 second delay) and then press TAB, I got 'Structure'. That's good. But if I press TAB before the autocomplete window appears I got "struc<TAB>Structure". That is really annoying, because it happens very often to me.

Sometimes while programming the autocomplete window is only a gray box, so I can not see what really is there. But if I press TAB the word will be completed. I don't know when this happens, but mostly it will remain gray every time after the first time this error happens. If I am lucky I got it to work again without restarting the IDE, but I don't know how...

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 with Gnome 13.10.4

I can confirm the gray drop down menu on Fedora 20 32-bit.

Has anyone an idea how to force this issue? I think it would help Fred an freak to solve this error.

This code does not show exactly the problem described above, but the code completion drop down window does not open at all, what is a bug, too.

Code:

Structure DlgButton
  Window.i
EndStructure

Structure Dlg
  Window.i
  Parent.i
EndStructure

Global Dlg.Dlg

;when pressing the backslash, the code completion window does NOT open
Dlg\

;if you comment out the first structure above, it works

I hope this bug will be fixed before the final comes out. Because this way it is impossible to use the IDE for programming.

Fixed.

Hello, the bug still exists on Debian8 Gnome and Mint cinnamon with 5.60.

I can confirm the problem still exists (Kubuntu 16.04 as well as 17.04)
(Autocomplete gray bug, other things work, its not slow, nor do I get code pieces)
Example image:

Problem is, its a heisenbug. Sometimes it works.
Observations I made:
- it occurs more often in long codes
- it occurs significantly more often on a slow PC (low spec laptop)
- it occurs more often when I set KDEs option "focus stealing prevention" to high.
- a restart of the IDE fixes it for a random time.
And its incredibly annoying when it happens
