           Summary: Auto-completion reacts too automatically (resulting in
                    things like "firefoxrefox")
    Classification: Xfce
           Product: Libxfce4util
           Version: 4.7.3
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: christoph at webrahmen.ch
         QAContact: nick at xfce.org


Product Libxfce4util is an uneducated guess (I found xfrun4 in Ubuntu package
xfce4-utils).

When I hit Alt-F2 and type one of my recently used commands (e.g. "firefox"),
the auto completion mechanism reacts too quickly and I get something like
"firefoxrefox" instead: after the first 1-2 characters, it recognises the
command and completes it - while I'm still typing. That's not what I'd expect. 

Correct behaviour should be something like this: Suggest possible commands in a
dropdown list, but don't auto-complete them automatically. Wait for the tab or
cursor down keys to select an entry. Just like the address bar of firefox for
instance.

I know I'm not on the latest development version, so please excuse me if this
is already fixed. I'm testing Xubuntu 11.04 (alpha1) and would be very happy if
this could be fixed in the final release. Can anyone verify if this happens
also in the latest version?

Thank you in advance for looking into this.
