      With the latest version, whilst typing, a box flashes below the typed text. There is a gif of this phenomena at GIFYU at image/SpC6F I would provide the link however whenever I attempt Submit a box appears stating this post is flagged as spam and I am assuming it is the presence of the link which causes this. - Best

        FYI: To imbed an external image in the forum, you can use the markdown ![](https://s7.gifyu.com/images/Flashing-Box-Whilst-Typing.gif):

        That “flashing box” is normally the auto-complete box. But with no other words in the active file, I am not sure why it would be triggered word completion – because word completion requires previous words, and at abc or abcde where it triggered, there weren’t any previous words.

        Here is that auto-complete box, trying to word-autocomplete on a word that is previously in my document: f51d14d3-0485-4523-b0da-16ebbfc59be7-image.png

        And based on the lack of syntax highlighting, I am assuming no lexer is enabled, so it shouldn’t be trying function completion. Maybe you have a plugin that is trying to add extra auto-completion. Sharing your ?-menu’s Debug Info would be helpful.

          @peterjones ,
          Just an FYI, I noticed that strange behavior when developing my Autocomplete when I had some error in it. Nothing would show, but the box would come up and go down…like it was trying to figure out my list. Once I got all the stuff properly setup, it worked just fine. That’s just one possible explanation, but that also makes it user error. :)

            This seems like the same issue reported with Notepad++ v7.9.2 (64-bit):

            #9433 Autocomplete makes notepad++ unable to keep up with typing.

            an empty (context menu?) box flash for a second

            I have submitted a Pull Request to fix:

            #11460 Fix autocomplete may show empty list.
