[SOLVED] #include - autocomplete bug

[lee321987]

If you have a comment with the word "include" anywhere in your code, then the auto-complete for #include does not work right.

It only happens if you enter the "#include <" by typing "incl" and then hitting SPACE (to complete the abbreviation) -- if you manually type the whole word "#include <" this bug does not trigger.

Once you complete the abbreviation you have "#include <" -- now type the "f" key. 

All the suggestions are on one line, and if you hit TAB, it completes to all suggestions.

Attached are pics: 1) the suggestions.  2) what happens if you hit TAB key.

EDIT: This has been solved in this post:

..I don't get any of that. and I too have customized SciTE, and windows  
Try reinstalling the latest SciTE. Maybe that will fix your setup. 

..and then hitting SPACE (to complete the abbreviation)..
You hit tab, or arrow to select and enter.

Don't have a customized Scite and can replicate the issue, however as mentioned in the OP you need to type "incl" + space, not "#incl" + space

tried that too. No bug in my setup.

ok, you'll have to have the ";include" on top to pop the bug. I would not have shared the finding.

It doesn't require the entire word:  just this in a comment will trigger it:  "inclu".  Also it happens for me whether the ";inclu" is above or below where I'm typing.

Do you mean this is too small a bug to bother anyone with it?

Just ignore that comment as it is up to me to state whether it is or not.  

As to your reported issue: I can't get it to go wrong yet. I have in a file:

;#include

#include <F

and get this popup:

Also tried with " ;include" as first line.

What do I need to do to see your issue exactly?

Ah ok ...   it is an expanded abbrev  after which the issue occurs.

Please try the current  Beta of AutoItAutoComplete.lua to see if that fixes it for you.

@Jos That fixed it for me.  Thank you!

@Jos

The fixed AutoItAutoComplete.lua  has this line twice:

editor.AutoCSeparator = string.byte(';')

intentional?
