When "Suggest bits of code from surrounding lines" is turned on, it is difficult to declare methods in a class without VA inserting unhelpful completions. Here is an example:

(Screenshot emailed to Whole Tomato; text representation below)

class foo
{
public:
	foo();
	virtual ~foo();

	int	GetLength();
	void	SetLength(int nLength);
	int
};

As soon as the 't' of "int" is entered, a completion box pops up with "nLength" listed. This box must be dismissed before I can press Tab to line up the next method with the other methods. If I forget and press Tab too soon, it autocompletes. Under normal circumstances, I like to use the Tab key to autocomplete, so I don't want to simply remove Tab as an "accept with" key.
Would it be possible to suppress autocompletion when only a type (e.g. primitives like int, bool; also structs and classes) has been entered by itself?
