Bug 147975 – REGRESSION: Web Inspector: Autocomplete sometimes requires two tab presses

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED

[Nikita Vasilyev]

Steps:
1. Type "document.body.fir" in the console
2. Press Tab

Expected:
"fir" is replaced with "first", the least common prefix.

              firstElementChild
              firstChild
document.body.first|

Actual:
Nothing happens on first Tab press

              firstElementChild
              firstChild
document.body.fir|

This is a regression from https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147316.

This is actually regular behavior.  The issue is that r187708 <webkit.org/b/147316> changed the logic for adding autocompletion hints from using CodeMirror.replaceRange to CodeMirror.setUniqueBookmark.  What this means is that when you hit tab on "document.body.fir|", it will complete to "document.body.first|", but since it uses CodeMirror.setUniqueBookmark (that we fully control styling over), the added text isn't committed (which means it doesn't get syntax highlighting and doesn't effect the current text in any way).  Using CodeMirror.replaceRange caused the text of the CodeMirror instance to change, which triggered a change to the stylesheet itself (which is also why r191419 <webkit.org/b/147720> was filed), which then updated CodeMirror and the syntax highlighting, causing you to see that the "st" after "document.body.fir|" changed colors (meaning it was autocompleted).  This should be fixed by <webkit.org/b/150493>.

Oops...  Guess the link highlighting doesn't work without a scheme.
