auto-complete is terrible

[alexezh]

Type: Bug

auto-complete is annoying. Empty line, I want to add two tabs. Complete suggests some wrong code. Click esc, tab. It suggests the same again. Another esc..

@alexezh would you be able to provide a gif of the behavior you're seeing? There could be multiple extensions involved depending on where the auto complete is coming from

I have a small C# file with a function indented at 2 tabs. I have an empty line in the middle of the class; and I want to type a comment. VS shows some random suggestion next to IP. If I type tab, suggestion is accepted and this is not what I want. So I click Esc, Tab. VS idents IP and immediately shows the same suggestion. I have to recognize this and do Esc/Tab again.

Is there a way to disable suggestions until I actually start typing? The current complete logic is not good at guessing without input, so I would rather not spend time clicking Esc over and over.

@alexezh generally completion from the C# extension shouldn't be active until you start typing. I'm wondering if there is some other extension providing completions. Would you mind sharing either a gif or a screenshot of the suggestion? And what extensions you have installed?
