It should probably only present completions that are suitable within a comment context. I’ll need to think about that a bit. > > Eventually the script got so mangled I just quit without saving.

What this sounds like (at least I think it sounds like) is an autocomplete placeholder got messed up somehow causing typing in one place to also add the text elsewhere. If that’s the case then turning autocomplete off once it’s messed up won’t really help. There’s been a bit of movement in this code since DP 2 so it may be that your issue is fixed already. If you see it again do you think you could take some screen recording of it and send to me? > > We probably also need a way to turn off remote debugging when we're done with > it, just in case. Remote debugging might be a bit of a red herring here. It shouldn’t be doing anything unless there’s stuff coming in over the socket.
