--- Comment #1 from Henning <[email protected]> ---
First off, this bug seems to be about the entityselector. The suggester itself
does not care about letter case. Restoring case insensitivity in the
entityselector would be simple. However, after some investigating, here is why
the functionality has been removed:
When the entityselector's "selected" event is triggered, the snakview
redraws--including the property "column". This involves resetting the property
label, thus, overwriting the property label the user entered with the actual
property label.
When applying case insensitivity, the following would occur: Imagine properties
"abc", "ABCDEF". When the user types "ABC" and the API call querying for
suggestions returns, "ABC" is overwritten with "abc" although the user might
still want to have "ABCDEF". Yes, it is possible to just continue typing,
ending up with "abcDEF" that gets finally replaced with "ABCDEF", but that is
quite some clumsy behaviour.
