[Lazarus] After using TSynCompletion, the SynEdit dont want to write the first Char, but after the first Char all works

[Martin Friebe]

Hi,

I haven't fully investigated this, put it may be related to the fact 
that you install some custom onKeyPressed stuff.

The original procedure TSynCompletion.EditorKeyPress(Sender: TObject; 
var Key: char);
does:
    if TRecordUsedToStoreEachEditorVars(fEditstuffs[i]^).NoNextKey then 
begin
      key := #0;
      TRecordUsedToStoreEachEditorVars(fEditstuffs[i]^).NoNextKey := false;
    end;

This procedure is still installed in Synedits OnKeyPress. So in theory 
any first key, after completion is skipped

In Praxis, due to what is a likely bug (but different bug) in Synedit: 
only spaces, upper-case chars and some punctuation is ignored.
In your example they are also ignored, if you finish completion, add 
some lower case, and then try space or upper-case.

I have not tested, but you may get round the issue, by removing the 
OnKeyPressed from Synedit, after SynCompletition did install it.
The better option is to find out, how to get SynCompletition to properly 
finish.

Best Regards
Martin
