The Autocomplete implementation is case sensitive in Firebird but in a very
strange way. Let me provide an example to explain the behaviour.

1. Suppose a text-field has the following possible auto-complete strings: CSCO,
CAN, CAMP (all caps)
2. I click on the field and start typing 'c' (lower case)
3. I get 3 autocomplete options: CSCO, CAN, CAMP - I select CSCO
4. Now, the field gets filled with - cCSCO

Expected Behaviour:
The field gets filled with CSCO instead of cCSCO

Reproducibility: Always
OS: Windows Server 2003
I get this also with win2000

Might be a dupe since this is my first confirm/someone/else

This seems a bit like bug 194574, but not quite. That bug also seems a bit like
bug 202992. I'm going to have to go clean these bugs up a bit...

OS > ALL since I'm seeing this in Linux as well.
OS: Windows XP → All
I thought I had seen this in Bugzilla before, but I couldn't find it using the
following searches:

ALL auto compl case
ALL auto compl cap
ALL auto compl append
ALL auto compl votes:2
ALL auto compl desc:case
auto compl desc:sensitiv
Ok, I've now satisfied myself that this is a dupe of bug 194574.
