Autocomplete removing preceding space

[mayorbyrne]

When I try and set a value using autocomplete, sometimes the editor removes the preceding space. If I want something that looks like note.x = dropAreaBG.x, if I autocomplete on dropAreaBG, the end results looks like note.x =dropAreaBG.x.

I've added a gif that illustrates what I'm seeing. Since this doesn't seem to happen when editing js, it feels like a dart extension issue.

Yep, definitely a bug! Possibly related to us putting a space in filterText (suggested at microsoft/vscode#66860 (comment)). I'll see what I can find. Thanks!

Unfortunately VS Code doesn't handle what we were trying to do here very well, so I've had to remove = and : as trigger completion characters. This means completion won't open automatically after typing those (but will when you type another character, or manually invoke with Ctrl+Space).

I have the same problem. Is there any solution?

@alex9153 What version of the Dart extension do you have? This should be fixed in the latest release.

Just updated to 2.25.0 ... seems like error is gone.
