I'm not sure if these should be suggestions to features or bugs:

Autocompletion only works with the first letter of the nick, so you might have to tab to an extremely big amount of nick.

If you select a setting to apply for all networks, it doesnt, if the network alread excist, hence you have to fix the same setting for all your networks. Takes long time. It also seemed as creating a new network didn't make it inherit it's options.

Auto-completion of a nickname should work for whatever letters you've typed in thus far. If not, please give me an example of something that isn't working like that.

Ok, I think I understand this one ... I think

On #klient (Efnet)

K<TAB> will autocomplete the nick to "KBuddy: "
I delete back so that K is left on its own, and add "E" so I have: "KE" autocomplete flips back to "KBuddy" its like it remembers what it originally autocompleted.

Another example
KBuddy
Kenforcer
Kea

Ke<Tab> = Kea
Delete "ea"
Kenf<tab> = KBuddy

Hmmm on this example it explains it better, it looks like when you delete back so only 1 character is left in the name and you add anything else it will resolve the nick to the first nick that Begins with K, in this example KBuddy.

I've encountered this one since K1, but finally got prompted to stop sitting on it. "Randomly/sometimes/etc." hitting tab to complete a nick will result in the entire editbox text line being hidden, including the cursor. The line is still there, and continuing to type will make it visible again. Pressing enter without additional typing will send it. Pressing the down arrow and returning to it later via the up arrow will still render it invisible.

I consider this a less than useful bug report, but at least it's posted now :)

Prompted to stop sitting on this one too. "Randomly/sometimes/etc." hitting tab to complete a nickname will do absolutely nothing. It will continue to do nothing for some "random" amount of time, though switching focus to other windows and back again seems to speed it up. Tab completion in other windows continues to work fine in the meantime.

I consider this a less than useful bug report, but at least it's posted now :)

I've encountered this. If you send the text, it'll start completing again.

Sometimes typing/deleting a few chars enables the tab completion again. A funny thing related to nick completion: tabbing to complete a nick, going to the start of the nick (ctrl+right arrow) and tabbing again will result in the nick next in line (i.e. Anick3Anick2Anick1).

Pressing end will also make it visible again.

Another old one. I can't reproduce and I use the tab nick completion quite frequently. I know the cursor placement gets odd when you do the tab and you're already past the end of the edit box's display area (i.e. it is scrolled right). But, that doesn't seem to be the same thing you're talking about.

Any more info, and/or is this still a problem?

Nick completion has been redone. Hopefully it will behave as expected now. I've merged a few threads here as well.
