Description Frank 2009-04-24 23:53:16 UTC

Version:           SVN (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

When trying to complete nicks, it seems the completion box goes by alphabetical order rather than last spoken order. This is very annoying more most users as - like in my case - often the person they actually want to complete to is at the bottom of this list.

Comment 1 Eike Hein 2009-04-25 00:01:36 UTC

Note: The intended behavior, and the behavior we had in Konveration 1.x, is to display the most recently active nickname matching the given prefix in the first slot of the list, and sort the following nicknames alphabetically. If the full list were to be sorted by activity, cycling through the completion list would become unpredictable and thus cumbersome and slow; the intended behavior strikes a solid balance between the common case and predictable behavior for the rest.

Now, this report is about the most-recently-active-nick-in-first-slot mechanic not working in the "Shell-Like with Completion Box" completion mode in the KDE 4 port. It does continue to work with "Cycle Nicklist", however. Most likely the completion box listview automatically going alphabetical rather than doing sort-by-insert is the problem here.
