<![CDATA[Prevent autocomplete from selecting its text]]>When I select the entry I want from the pop-up auto-complete menu using either Tab or Enter the word is placed in my document selected, so the next key I press overwrites it. I have to press right arrow then start typing to prevent that. This is annoying and I don’t remember it being this way before. How do I prevent this? Did I set something in my prefs to make it happen?

Ctrl+Enter has the behavior I want but I want it default.

I forgot I posted this. :P

My NP++ version is 6.8.8 and I’m on Windows 7. I ran it with -noPlugin and that fixed it. Thanks for the idea. Now to track down the miscreant plugin wrecking my stuff…

I’m using auto complete as well and didn’t discover reported behaviour yet.
May I ask you which version of npp and os you use.
Which language and style do you use? Do you use RTL direction
Could you give it a try by using the -noPlugin commandline switch?

Cheers
Claudia
