Video showing the bad autocomplete popup placement
SUMMARY
When using auto-complete, despite plenty free screen space, the auto-complete
overlay often overlays the text cursor itself, making it impossible to see what
I'm typing. Maybe it's just me, but this feels somewhat disruptive.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Type with auto-complete turned on
OBSERVED RESULT
See attached video. Auto-complete pop-up covers text cursor itself with no
need. Unless the screen was very cramped and the auto-complete list very long
(but even then, maybe it should just be shortened then unless the screen is so
small that it doesn't fix it anymore) it shouldn't overlay where I'm typing.
EXPECTED RESULT
I can see what I'm typing, even when auto-complete is enabled, unless the
screen really is tiny and it's not reasonably avoidable.
