Version: 3.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages The autocompleter pops up far too often in many cases where there is no need whatsoever (this is with "Project Options | C++ Specific | Code Completion | Automatic code completion" checked). For example, I might paste a function definition in a class definition, and the autocompleter would pop up a list then; or when I undo typing in something, and the autocompleter will pop up again. There are many other instances where the autocompleter gets in the way. I might be wrong, but I can't see any possible case where either of the two above examples warrant the autocompleter popping up. (P.S. Checking/unchecking the "Automatic code completion" box does not take effect into the project is restarted - should this go in another bug report?)
To make the previous comments more clear, it would pop up when the text cursor ended up at the end of a line on a semi colon (which is pretty common when editing a class interface). Another example of the autocompleter popping up is when I'm typing a comment. After each word (if I pause for more than a few hundred milliseconds), it pops up. And when I've got to the end of the line in a comment, it becomes a game of reaction speeds to try and hit enter before it pops up, and selects the top item in the list.
Same thing happens on Fedora RPM's, KDevelop 3.3 Using KDE 3.5.0
Just upgraded to 3.3.2, and it is indeed VERY annoying. Even when in a comment the box pops up continuisly, making it hard to just hit an enter to go to the next line, because that will select an entry from the pop-up box. Before, it did not always pop up when it might have been helpfull, but now it just gets in the way.
this is fixed
