Description Adam Dingle 2009-01-08 05:08:22 UTC 
Anjuta offers symbol autocompletions even when I'm typing a string constant or comment.  This is annoying, since most words in these contexts are not symbols.  We shouldn't offer autocompletions in these contexts.

this is language-support related.

I think scintilla doesn't autocomplete inside a comment or string. Unfortunately, gtksourceview does not export this information. There is a bug in gtksourceview about it, though I don't have the number handy currently.

Can you check if this also happens with scintilla? Otherwise, I will reassign it to gtksourceview.
Comment 4 Massimo Cora' 2009-01-08 12:48:25 UTC 
Scintilla autocompletes if you explicit tell it to do so.
in the example it'll autocomplete only if you open the braket "main ("
Comment 5 Adam Dingle 2009-01-08 14:28:29 UTC 
I just tried this in Scintilla.  The behavior is exactly the same as in gtksourceview: Anjuta offers autocompletions even when I'm typing a comment or string constant.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
