Hi,
There are some fixes in auto-complete functionality in 10.4.1 but it is still far from working OK.
Come on guys. We are all using Syntax Editor's in MS DevStudio and you should mimick exactly the same behaviour. Much more care for the detail in implementation is required.
Results from testing your "MDI Text Editor":
For example, original auto complete automatically re-updates itself when user types NEXT letter or presses backspace key, using C++ parser:
1. user types 'w'
2. then presses CTRL+SPACE - auto complete shows up with several choices (good)
3. then user continues typing - next letter 'h' - at this point
auto-complete should list should be updated to show NARROWER selection - namely only ONE entry: 'while'. It does NOT do that now. (BUG #1)
4. Similar when user types 'wh', ctrl+space and then BACKSPACE, the list should re-update to show complete list of keywords beginning with just 'w'
(currently the list is NOT updated - still shows only 'while') (BUG #2)
5. Mouse Wheel support is not implemented - when auto-complete list is visible mouse wheel should scroll just the AUTO COMPLETE list, not entire document window. (I mentioned it already and was promised a fix)
6. Rendering of auto-complete window does not work well with non-standard system metrics. (I mentioned it already with a screenshot in my previous post - STILL NO FIX)
7. Bottom scrollbar flicker like hell when scrolling through document - why don't you calculate it ONCE for entire document - for longest line in the doc?
8. Rendering is wrong when default COURIER font (BITMAP) font is used and ClearType is enabled. But this is probably Windows problem as TrueType fonts work fine.
A couple of missing but highly desirable things:
9. Support for Parameter Tooltips (at least not in MDI Text Editor sample)
10. Bracket matching/highlighting
11. Export to HTML (plus COPY to CLIPBOARD in HTML and RTF formats - this is desirable when you copy/paste codes from editor to e-mail program such as outlook or to the word)
These are all features I have developed in my own in-house editor which was based on RichEdit, and my users would be very unhappy having finding those features missing when I switch to codejock editor. Any chance to have this implemented ? Or should I go Scintilla way (it has it all and everything that Codejock has but is more "heavyweight").
Regards,
Tomasz

| I think you should stick to Scintilla until Xtreme SyntaxEdit has been around for a while. Remember that this is the first release. It will probably be buggy until 10.6 or 10.7 :P |

I agree with you! The scrollbar flickering drives me crazy. Can you please fix these bugs in v11.1.1? It shouldn't take more than a day or two.

| I would add to the list that the horizontal scrollbar also flickers when typing. Can't ship with this flicker, please address it along with the other bugs. |

It would be nice if someone from CodeJock could at least address these bugs, and whether or not there are any fixes planned 
More specifically, have any of these been fixed in the latest release 11.1.3?

Points 1-5, 7 already fixed for 11.2.1.
Point 6 - probably fixed early. I tried to change system fons, colors - but cannot repeat it.
Will work for other points. ------------- Regards, Andrei Melnik |

Waiting for 11.2.1 to see 1-5 fixes. When the rest is going to see the light of the day?
Rendering issue (6) is not fixed in 11.2.0.
The screenshot was done on regular Windows XP, with default fonts (fresh install).
