This just started happenning in 1209, I think, and it's very annoying.

Rarely (maybe 1 time in 100) Often (maybe 1 time in 20), VAX will go ahead and finish typing in my method name for me - in a sense, it's taking "AutoCompletion" too literally. For example, let's say I'm in a class called MyListCtrl, which is derived from CListCtrl. If I type "GetCol", I usually see a listbox of 10 items to choose from, and I scroll to the one I want and hit <Enter>.

Every 100th 20th time or so, though, VAX will just go ahead and, as soon as I hit the "ell" in "GetCol", type in the "umnWidth" for me (!), yielding "GetColumnWidth". This is not good - what I was actually going to type in was "GetColumnDisplayed", a method I just added to my derived class. Now I have to backspace and delete the "umnWidth" and try again; this time VAX works correctly.

I can't figure out the pattern, but it's driving me nuts! Even when it guesses correctly, it still screws me up. For example, I was typing in the word 'delete', and when I looked up, I saw instead 'deletete'. I had typed 'dele', and VAX (incorrectly) entered 'te' for me, and then I typed in 'te'.

Ugh! It's bad enough to make we want to roll back to 1208...

Larry, we thinks we have this fixed in 1210. Mind trying and letting us know.

Well, it's been four hours since I installed 1210, and it hasn't happened once! Yay!

What else has been fixed or changed in build 1210? It it a recommended update (well, I'm probably prying enough to check it anyway, but it doesn't hurt to ask)?
BTW: I like to have a file history.txt included in the setup, with detailed list of changes.

Is it a "officially released" Patch yet?
Or should we stay with 1209 until otherwise told?
