Hey there, love your products, I use Page Builder and the CSS Editor on every one of my WordPress projects now.
BUT…
In one of the latest updates for CSS Editor, it has gone beyond just suggesting CSS selectors and whatnot in a dropdown, to automatically inserting what it thinks I was typing WHILE I’M STILL TYPING IT.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this tool, but this one thing that it just started doing is making it completely unusable for me.
For example, let’s say I’m typing the word “right”. I will start typing the ri – THEN AUTOCOMPLETE WILL INSERT ght with zero delay – then I finish typing ght, so the word that gets typed is “rightght”. Or “!im”-autocomplete-“portant”-typing-“portant”, ending up with “!importantportant”.
This happens ALL THE TIME and it is infuriating. There is no opt-in (i.e. like before I would have to arrow up or down to select what you are suggesting).
The only workaround is for me to go from typing ~100 WPM typing just “right” to typing “r” one one-thousand, two-onethousand “i” one one-thousand, two one-thousand, wait to see if it autocompletes, “g”…
Whatever you’ve done, I don’t know if this was intended to be a new feature, or it’s a bug, well let me tell you, this is a bug.
Please, hear my pleas. I cannot use your plugin now and I really want to. This is extremely ‘!importantortant’.
Hi Ron
This is actually the default behaviour of the latest version of Code Morror, which is the code editor we’re using. You’re right though, this auto autocomplete is a bit annoying. I’ll revert it ASAP.
I’ve logged this on Github, you can keep track of it here: https://github.com/siteorigin/so-css/issues/7
I’m only replying to this post because I cant find any other way to contact anyone. I have posted 2 threads, and both of them, for days, have just said “pending approval”. and then i see this thread was answered within 2 hours. Whats going on? My username is Labow. thank you.
Thanks so much Greg!
Like I said, I love the Custom CSS plugin, but this seemingly little thing has just been driving me nuts on my latest project.
Cheers,
Ron
