TAB + BACKSPACE Table/Column Name Completion Feature Problem

It appears that the Table/Column Name Completion Feature has a problem if the TAB key and then the BACKSPACE key are pressed.

For this example I am using the “Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio” that comes with SQL Server 2005 SP1.

Enter the following:

	Code:
	SELECT * FROM master.sys.all_v

At this point you should see a popup with all_views in it. Press the TAB key followed by the BACKSPACE key. Now select the all_views item and press ENTER. Instead of all_v being replaced with all_views it is replaced with aall_views as shown below:

	Code:
	SELECT * FROM master.sys.aall_views

It seems that pressing TAB following by the BACKSPACE key breaks the Table/Column Name Completion Feature.

This is a bug and we will need to fix it.

As a side note, Tab key is not a selection key. Please use Enter key. Before pressing Enter, make sure to select an item that you want to paste. To select an item in the list use regular scroll keys or mouse, to close the popup use Esc key.
