--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We now get the autocompletion only if there is one exact match. 

For example, A1="Hello" and A2="Helli" will not suggest anything in A3 after
typing "Hell". However, if B1="Hello World" you get the full text in B2 for
"He".

There is no urgent need anymore since suggestions are much more tailored.
Pressing any other character stops the autocompletion, escape or backspace
doesn't. Meaning if B2 in the upper example should be just "Hello" one has to
type the full word and press backspace. Not intuitive but I don't see how this
can be done faster. 

The better solution for the whole feature is probably to show a small number of
options in a dropdown and allow to pick one per cursor up/down. Would be
inconvenient for users who enter distinct terms like "Blue" and "Yellow".

Putting all together it's a WFM. Feel free to reopen.
