Thanks for responding so quickly. Disabling autoinput will turn off the feature, which is not what I was looking for. The autoinput suggestion should not be injected without user approval. While the user is typing, the highlighted postfix supplied by the autoinput feature is only tentative, and should not be committed when user hits a return. If the user is not watching the screen, it will result in incorrect data entry. Highlighted text should not be automatically added to the text without user approval, which is usually done by having the user tab or move the cursor over to EOL. For example if you are using any other application such as eclipse, the proposed auto-completion is accepted only if the user moves the cursor over the highlighted proposed text to the end of the line. Data entry errors in spreadsheets can be hard to detect and the user interface should not make it more error prone, in my opinion. For exmaple, if I wanted the auto-completion feature, and were entering grades, then entering a sequence such as the following with autoinout feature enabled makes it harder - Tom B+ Dick B Harry B- I would want the autocompletion to feature, but I don;t want it inserting stuff into the spreadsheet without me acknowledging it. Thanks so much. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
