Bug Description

When word prediction is enabled, it will cause this behavior as it is doing a pre-search before sending through the characters, which is as expected.

For this textfield this should be disabled using

 inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText

It is always supposed to find as you type. Sometimes it's a bit slow - can you confirm it's not just that (which we should certainly address but isn't the same as it not working at all)?

It never fills in unless I hit enter, can leave text there indefinitely.
I notice that once I do hit enter, deleting characters dynamically expands the list of choices, but adding characters back does not again restrict the list until an enter.

It works fine on a desktop, I wonder if we could hit timeout if things get too slow?

What timeout? There's nothing that I know of.

On what are you testing to see this issue?

Just tried on a manta and a different mako and it works fine, closing this.

(I was just testing that, as discussed on IRC it seems to be an OSK issue, when word completion/correction is enabled it seems every keypress is not "commited" to the entry. Pat said he would open an OSK bug about that)

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-system-settings - 0.1+14.04.20140128-0ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntu-system-settings (0.1+14.04.20140128-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ CI bot ]
  * Resync trunk

  [ Alberto Mardegan ]
  * MainView: return success if a plugin has been loaded The
    loadPluginByName() function was not returning anything in the case
    where a plugin could be loaded but didn't provide a page component
    (like Online Accounts is doing). In this case probably JS returns
    just false. Make sure that the function returns a value in all
    cases: false if the plugin cannot be loaded, true if the plugin was
    loaded successfully (even if it doesn't provide a page component).

  * storage: use UbuntuShape rather than Rectangle, remove redundant
    “Installed apps” label
  * disable the osk predictive text, so results are shown while typing
