Currently, when you press Ctrl+Space or select Edit > Show Completions, a dropdown menu appears and lets you select an autocomplete option. If you press Tab, the highlighted option in the dropdown is selected and your typing autocompletes. However, pressing enter (which is a natural way to select an option) does not work. Instead of newline is entered, which is an annoyance. Also, clicking on the item with the mouse does not select an item from the dropdown either. |

I have noticed ;-). TAB TAB is required to select, which is slightly obnoxious. Click within the box closes it, which is useless and annoying. Scrollwheel moves the entries but not the selection highlight, making it mostly useless These behaviors are mostly contrary to the doc and are overt bugs. Some of the bugginess appears specific to Windows. This issue is a duplicate of #15786, so I am closing it as such. |
