      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.

        Hello @Alex-Taddia,

        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

          Hi, sorry I took so long to reply. 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…
