Unexpected autocomplete behaviour with hyphens

Using the autocomplete extension, I am seeing that for words that contain a hyphen -, the autocomplete ignores any character that goes before the hyphen.

So it’s ignoring the “e-” characters, and appending the rest of the autocomplete in front.

This is using a custom lezer grammar, but the node shown is one that does not contain any nested nodes. Rather this seems to happen with any node containing hyphens.

I am wondering if this is a configuration that I am missing, something intended, or a bug of the autocomplete extension.

Thank you!

This problem looks like it is in your custom autocompletion source (it’s probably not setting the correct from on its return value).

You are completely right :slight_smile: My autocomplete logic was matching the words using:
let word = context.matchBefore(/\w*/) satisfies Word
Updating the regex to /\w+[-]?\w*/ fixed the issue.

Thank you!!
