Bug ID: 360340
Summary: autocomplete ignores special characters at beginning
of string (problem for coding eg in PHP)
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: blauesnic...@gmail.com
Autocomplete seems to ignore special charactes at the beginning of a string
when making suggestion list. The list includes too many entries, all matching
strings no matter if the same special characters are at the beginning or not.
When starting to type a PHP variable "$var" autocomplete suggests everything
starting with "var" not taking into account the "$" at the start, same happens
when typing "<?php", which is just annoying.
This makes using autocomplete for coding in PHP nearly unusable, because it
does not only suggest the different PHP variables already in the file (e.g.
$var_1, $var_2) but also any single string value that starts with "var".
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Test with this in file:
$test_1 = "variable_in_string";
Then type
$var
and get autocompletion suggestion "variable_in_string" which will leave you
with
$variable_in_string
although this variable never existed in your code.
Actual Results:
Suggestion list is longer than it should be for using it in a PHP file.
Expected Results:
Shorter suggestion list, only including entries that match the full string
typed in, including any special characters at the beginning.
Happens for
KWrite
Version 4.14.3
Under KDE 4.14.9
openSuSe 13.2
Did not happen for earlier version of KWrite under openSuSe 12.1
