Description matthew 2012-07-19 21:41:52 UTC 
The Gtk docs (http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkEntryCompletion.html) state: "By default, the matching is done by comparing the entry text case-insensitively against the text column of the model." This is true for the completion popup: If I type "mat", and the model contains "Matthew", "Matthew appears in the completion popup.

However, inline completion appears to be case-sensitive. If I type "mat", and the model contains "Matthew", "thew" does not appear in the entry. However, if I type "Mat", then "thew" *does* appear in the entry.

This is using an EntryCompletion setup with gtk_entry_completion_set_text_column and no custom handlers.
Comment 1 matthew 2012-07-19 22:16:16 UTC 
Follow-up: This bug occurs not only with the default handler, but with a custom MatchFunc. Here is an example MatchFunc (in Vala):

bool completion_match_func(Gtk.EntryCompletion completion, string key, Gtk.TreeIter iter) {
    GLib.Value value;
    list_store.get_value(iter, 0, out value);
    string? cased_target = value.get_string();
    
    if (cased_target == null)
        return false;
        
    if (key.length > cased_target.length)
        return false;
            
    string lowercase_prefix = cased_target.substring(0, key.length).casefold();
    return lowercase_prefix == key;
}

...

entry_completion = new Gtk.EntryCompletion();
entry_completion.model = ...
entry_completion.text_column = 0;
entry_completion.set_match_func(completion_match_func);
entry_completion.inline_completion = true;
entry_completion.inline_selection = true;
