Description Tenno Seremel 2010-02-27 09:31:19 UTC 
Version:           4.3.4-1 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

KLineEdit seems to have several options for completion however they are somewhat confusing. It's hard to tell the difference between none* and manual, automatic, and semi-automatic (what's that supposed to mean anyway?). The only thing that is obvious is a drop-down option.

With digikam and it's tag tree (see link below) it was not obvious what option you need to actually get what you want. Actually I though it was a bug at first.

I think naming of these options can be improved. I'm not sure what should they be named though.
