Autocompletion on parameter type is wonky

bgrommes

This may have already been addressed by another fix, but I wanted to make the issue explicit in case it wasn't covered.

I was creating a method and defining the parameters. The single parameter I wanted was:

value As String

But the suggested completion was StringMemoryTableColumn which happens to be a class I'm working on.

Leaving it as String and tabbing sometimes (usually?) accepts the incorrect completion.

The only foolproof way to not get the wrong autocompletion is to use the mouse to move the focus elsewhere.

Thanks for reporting this. I’ve tracked down the cause and fixed it.

When a valid type name was also the prefix of a longer available type (for example, String and StringMemoryTableColumn) Studio could discard the exact match and leave the longer type as the active completion. Pressing Tab could then replace the valid type unexpectedly.

Studio will now treat an exact type name as complete, so Tab moves to the next field without changing it. You can still select the longer type by continuing to type, for example StringM.

The fix will be included in the next release: https://feedback.objo.dev/bug/1307
