Hi all,

In my application I get the behaviour that autocompletion windows disappear after a short delay (1 sec or so). This happens with all completions: custom completions in an NSTokenField and an NSTextField as well as the default mechanism in an unmodified NSTextView. Am I missing something general?

I ran into this too, and I can't offer a simple fix, but in my case it prompted me to override complete: with my own implementation. The default completion mechanism, IMHO, is ugly; there are way too many hits (including stem, if it is a word), it inserts unfixed quotes, transparency make the list hard to read, and it draws an empty vertical scroll bar for short lists. It was fairly easy to use completionsForPartialWordRange: indexOfSelectedItem: to get the list, filter it, and display the results in a more attractive control.
