Okay, worked that out a bit more detailled:
For example i have one under 'debugbreak', which gives me a more sophisticated
breakpoint. Normally i type 'deb' + Ctrl-Space + Enter to insert that.
When pspad is in this error state, no clip dropdown appears.
I found this workaround: i delete the previously typed 'deb' and give a
Ctrl-Space with no triggerword (on a space). I type Backspace several times and
then it is working again. I believe there must be a kind of internal buffer
which stores the actual search string for showing clips and is not initialized
every time it is used.
