Texts and tooltips in Autocompletion inconsistent #109

Open rneuber1 opened 8 years ago

rneuber1 commented 8 years ago

For some items, the autocompletion shows the Label in the drop down and the ItemType as tooltip, for some other elements it is the other way round. Some of them are greyed out. Maybe it has to do with internationalisation?!

This is actually by design (although perhaps the design could be improved). In addition to showing the names of items (in black) the labels are also included (in gray) when they substantially differ from the names. This way, it is possible to still find the item you are looking for even if you only remember the label instead of the name. As currently implemented, using either completion will enter the name. However, the tooltip displays whatever value is not displayed in the list. That is, if the list item is the label, the tooltip is the name and vice versa.

At least there is a design flaw ;-) See the picture below: Although there is only one matching ItemType which normally would be autocompleted directly, the user is presented a drop down with two choices: label (tooltip name) and name (tooltip label). This definetly does not make any sense:
