(using OO.o v2.0 on XP+SP2)
The next time I try to enter something in that column, if I want to enter
compile, link, and test modules A, B, and C
I get as far as "comp", and Calc automatically fills in the rest
with one of the first two things I already entered. (I haven't yet
determined a pattern to which one it picks.)
I then have to delete using <BS> to get rid of all the other stuff,
and continue from there. Only, as soon as I enter the "i", it does
the same thing all over again.
Actually, that is not true: you don't need to backspace over
anything. The automatically inserted text is already selected, so if
you continue to type, what you type simply replaces the inserted
text. The effect of this is that as soon as your new text departs
from whatever you have elsewhere in the same column, the behaviour is
as if the AutoInput facility was toggled off anyway.
And there are other things you can do in this circumstance:
o To accept the offered text but then add to it or edit it, press F2.
o To view alternative completions, press Tab or Shift+Tab to move
forward or backward through the list.
o To view all AutoInput available for the current column, use
Ctrl+D. Then use up-arrow and down-arrow to move through the list or
else the first character of the selected entry to move to and cycle
through all entries with that initial character.
I trust this helps.
