Outdated Bug [7245] Autocomplete highlighting out of sync w editor after partial match

Three issues here

1) Cant find "Partial" in code completion settings

2) Cant find any tool named Spotlight

3) Code completion no longer uses tab

And generally I cannot reproduce this bug. Is this still relevant ?

These things are all a bit hidden :(

I still don't get it, I cant find any problem with the code completion in spotlight. What I am missing ?

It refers to an editor , which editor is that ?

Refer to attached pic.  When the Spotlight text jumps from 'Conf' to 'Configuration' by pressing <tab>, the list is not updated. 
Actually, why does the auto-completion jump from 'Conf' to 'Configuration' and not stop at 'Config' ?

An additional problem is referring to old identifiers that are no longer in the image.
1. Upack fresh #30487 build
2. Create a new package 'MyXXXTest'
3. Delete package 'MyYYYTest'
4. Hit shift-enter to start Spotlight
5. Type 'My'
Observe that MyYYYTest appears in the list.  It should not since it does not exist.
Same behaviour if you create and immediately delete a class e.g. MyZ1Test

Not sure whether that should be a separate Case.

Yeah, so that is part of a long-standing bug in the completion framework...


> Not sure whether that should be a separate Case.

well it should be :) but chances are low that this will ever be fixed.
The completion framework is a battlefield of its own :P

The code currently only looks at the first 10 entries or so for the tab completion.

We would love that somebody have a look and make this working really well.
