Martin Panter added the comment: I think this might just be a side effect of the way we abuse the tab completer to insert a literal tab (Issue 23441, revision 82ccdf2df5ac). If I change the code to insert the letter T instead of tabs:
if not text.strip('T'): if state == 0: return text + 'T' else: return None I see this behaviour: * Manually type three Ts * Press Tab once, a fourth T is added nicely * Press Tab a second time, it beeps and displays a completion list with a single item, and then completes my line to five Ts * Pressing Tab again repeats the beep, completion list, and appending a T Illustration: >>> TTTT <== Typed T three times, then Tab twice TTTTT <== Completion list from second Tab press >>> TTTTT TTTTTT >>> TTTTTT ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25660> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
