ok, just so no one confuses me with an expert bbedit user (or one who actually rtfm)... i recently got bit by a similar problem when bbedit stopped autocompleting variable names in a rather large .php script.
i was led gently to the solution by patrick woolsey, who deserves full credit for pointing me to the appropriate expert pref, which happens to be adjacent to the one you need. all hail patrick. all hail barebones. all hail bbedit.
