But I agree that the > only right thing to do there is to try to fix this slowness :) While I admit I haven't used 1.3 yet (so shut up alan!), don't other browers wait for a pause in typing before they display the auto completion? If I type full bore in the IE/mozilla location bars autocompletion does NOT pop up. However, if I type ofr a bit and then stop, it waits ~1s or so and then pops up (down) the drop down. Copying this behaviour (assuming we don't already, like I said, I haven't used 1.3 yet, waiting for garnome's next release :) would solve both problems wouldn't it? - no slowdown for bast typers - no sudden jarring of a dropdown coming down as soon as you type - no need for a pref - available for both the newbie and experieneced user - can still use TAB for explicitly popping up the window Of course, G2 may already do this, and if so, please ignore me :) alan -- Alan <[email protected]> - http://arcterex.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- "The only thing that experience teaches us is that experience teaches us nothing. -- Andre Maurois (Emile Herzog) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Get the new Palm Tungsten T handheld.
