Description Mildred 2011-04-29 14:46:49 UTC 
In bug 648944 I describe a problem I have with the gedit completion. When I type ENTER, the last word I types gets completed to something I don't want while what I really intended was to get a new line.

A trivial solution would be to wait until the user pressed a keyboard shortcut before proposing completions. A good option would be Ctrl-Space

There is no necessarily need to add a preference dialog. It could be in the Tools menu. Something like

[X] Always propose completion words
Complete word (Ctrl-Space)

Another way to fix the problem described in bug #648944 is to not select the first proposal when the completion window is shown.
