Sentry Crash Report:

Description fsmoreir 2012-09-19 15:00:08 UTC 
when  auto completetion for latex markup  is activated, if we write \begi a dropdown list is shown to complete the command.  If you use mouse to select a item from this list, the list disappears, but the corresponding completation is not written to the document.  However if you use arrows up/down to select and then press enter, the selected word  is written to thedocument.  
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.turn on auto completion, by checking the "auto completetion for latex markup" box in settings->configure kile->kile->complete
2. In a document write "\begin"
3. in the popup dropdown window try a mouse click in one item 
Actual Results:  
The dropdown window closes, but the item clicked is not written to the document.


Expected Results:  
The item clicked is written to the document.

My actual kile version is 2.9.60, but this also happened in earlier vrsions i´ve tried.

Forwarding to KatePart.

I see this in Kate 3.13.2, but the list remains when clicking an item.  More specifically, clicking only highlights the item.  It turns out that double-clicking will complete the item, but I only realized this was possible after reading through older bug reports.

This is perhaps a usability issue.  The drop-down list looks like a pop-up menu to me, so I would expect single-clicking to complete an item.  I never even thought of double-clicking, since one does not normally double-click to select an item in a menu.

This also breaks KDevelop. I'm surprised noone has worked on this issue yet?

Fix selecting completion item with the mouse

Prevents closing of the popup when the view looses focus to the popup,
adds closing of the popup when it looses focus and returns the focus
to the view when the popup is closed in case it had focus.
