[SOLVED] Auto complete not recognizing all "words"

In PureBasic 4.41 if type "pro" I'll get a list of all auto completes that start with "pro".

But if I type "open" auto complete does not pop up at all even though there are plenty of commands or functions that start with "open".

Not sure when this started but may go back to 4.40 since I believe auto complete worked properly in it, especially if there's no easy fix.

Confirmed, downgraded to 4.40 and auto complete now works as expected.

It does here. Try it again after renaming your prefs file, so that you start PureBasic "clean".

I'll try that but I can't imagine what in the preferences would cause this especially since I made no changes to them between the two versions.

Re installed 4.41 and now it works as it should.

I guess it was just a hiccup during the original upgrade to 4.41.

Thanks for the help!

there is no uption to "upgrade".
you need to install into a virgin directory anyways.
maybe this was the root of the problem?

By upgrade I mean that I installed it on top of the already installed version and doing it that way has never caused a problem before.

then you were just lucky by coincidence.
I hear problem reports caused by "installing over" since years, almost every month.
many many different problems, often lib mismatches caused by userlibs.
... but just "installing over" never been a good idea.
