1573332 - Autocomplete doesn't display when quickly typing object properties

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P2)

Description

[mattheww]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0

Steps to reproduce:

I opened the console and typed "document.queryS" as fast as possible.

Actual results:

Nothing :(
The autocomplete popup and text do not show up, after waiting a reasonable length of time.
If I backspace to the "." and wait for the autocomplete popup, then retype "queryS", it works as normal.

Expected results:

Autocomplete should work regardless of typing speed.

My bisection was shaky, but I believe this stems from (bug 1541352)[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1541352].

I'll have a look soon.
In the meantime, you should be able to use Ctrl + Space to force display the autocomplete popup .

Matthew, are you still experiencing this? I couldn't reproduce but maybe I'm not typing fast enough

I can still reproduce it, but only when I'm trying to. My computer is a bit old, which I'm sure helps.
It's a really minor issue and as you pointed out, there's an easy workaround.
