(auto)-completion problems

Hello,

               At first I have to thank you for your effort to maintain this
great programming system. I am using it to attract my grandchildren to the
computer programming technique. But I have encountered one problem, which is
present even in the latest version (2.7.15). It is the automatic completion.
It doesn't work as described. At first, the automatic completion should
kick-out after about 2 sec when, for example the user types the name of an
object and the dot. Nothing happens. The forced auto-completion requires to
press the Ctrl+Space keys. At first, it opens "some" window, but, like in my
example, the object "M" must not to be followed by the dot. However that
window is meaningless. As soon as I try to use it (click on it, to move the
cursor keys, or any other activity with the keyboard), this window
immediately disappears. Is there a way to fix this problem? And I am running
the Windows 7 and the 64-bit version Python. Thank you in advance for your
help.

 

Regards,

Peter
