Code editor pulls the cursor out

Post by enriqu3 » Wed Sep 18, 2019 6:47 am

Good morning, I run LC cplus under Linux
I have a problem with autocompletion, when I am in the code editor, it appears for less than 1 second and removes the focus writing cursor from the code editing window. Therefore I have to be continuously returning to the mouse to be able to continue writing code.

The only way this does not happen is to remove the autocomplete option, but I need this option.

any solution? Thank you

What does "LC cplus" mean?

AND, what do you mean by "Linux"?

For the sake of argument, re Linux, I run versions of LiveCode on LXLE, Xubuntu and Kubuntu,
which are all types of GNU-Linux; and there are different aspects of the LiveCode "experience"
that can seem a bit odd under each of those operating systems.

I also deploy LC on 7 Macintosh computers of different vintages running different instantiations
of MacOS: again, there can be different phenomena with different set ups.

This is because the good folk at LiveCode centre try to keep every one happy, and on the whole
they do a very good job, but they cannot spend all their time testing each version of LiveCode
on every possible operating system LiveCode should run on.

Means community +
The version is nine point five point zero, the server does not let me put it right, I can not write nine point because it thinks it is a link to another website. Operating system GNU-Linux Debian 10 with the latest approved version of XFCE, I have looked at all the requirements of LC for linux systems (as it says on the LC website) and I fulfill them all.
For your part, it is a great job to carry so many different machines, and the LC team is fantastic that works on so many different systems.
Any advice under your experience? I need the autocomplete
