Auto-complete misbehaving in grid editor #3044

Description

@JFoederer

Observed in RIDE 2.2.3.dev10 running Python 3.13 on Windows

Suppose that I just started a new test file and I begin typing my first keyword in the first cell.
The keyword that I am typing does exist yet and it is called 'keyword that has a table'

When I start typing in a new cell, after a single character there is no auto-completion

If I backspace and bring back the same state auto-completion is triggered but the suggestions do not match the first letter
Image

Continue typing and the suggestion narrows down
Image

Typing further narrows down to a single suggestion, that does not match the text
Image

Continue typing and the suggestions get weirder

At a certain point the list becomes huge

When finishing the keyword I intended to type, I am left with a single suggestion:

This is where the most frustrating part happens.

  • If I press TAB, all that I typed is replaced by the single word 'table'
  • If I press ENTER, the same
  • If I press ESCAPE, the same

In the first two cases the grid editor even loses focus and I can't continue typing.

If I continue trying I end up with this error:
