Your "eDitor" program  looks like a useful tool. Thanks for making it available to us.

There seems to be a problem on my computer with the "OpenOffice-like word completion" though. As I'm typing, it'll start to suggest a word. The word completion box pops up, and then the program is stuck. I can't get the program to "unlock" without breaking out of the program (by using the Task Manager to get me out of the window). I'm not even sure if I want to use word completion. If you don't know what's causing the lock up, it'd be nice to at least have the option of turning off word completion.

I'm using eDitor-0.3 on Windows 2000.

You should be able to press escape or return to get out of the completion box, is this the case?

Escape doesn't work for me. Neither does tab, space, enter, or the arrow keys. The only that I can proceed is to click in another window and then come back to the eDitor window. When the eDitor window loses focus, the auto-complete box is hidden, but it returns the next time I type a letter in the word it thinks I'm trying to complete.

Thanks for trying to help.

I've been testing a bit and have decided to disable autocompletion support in the windows build, for the time being.

I'll release a new version shortly.

This is a bugfix release for the Windows version. Linux users won't gain anything from upgrading.

Changes:
* Autocompletion wasn't working as expected in the windows build, and has
been disabled for now.

Thanks for turning off the autocompletion for the Windows build. Now I can use the program on my computer.

Were you able to see the buggy behavior on a machine yourself? (Or was I the only one who was having a problem?)

By the way, I'm really looking forward to when you get the "Outline" tab working. It looks like a cool feature.

Yes, I saw it for myself in Windows, but I normally only use Linux, so I hadn't noticed it before.

I'll try to get it into one of the next releases.

Right now, I'm working on a documentation browser, so you can do things like browse the D Language spec, in program.
