Change the autocomplete textboxes. Some ideas could be * Add an ajax icon when is looking for the options * Improve the search, with like and similar words * remove them with simple selectors (don't like) Some times, you i don't remember how a project name is written or a group, and it's a pain go back, look for the name, do copy paste... that kind of things.. If the network is not very fast (inet conection) you found yoursef e with waiting for the autocomplete, and it isn't going to appear. Thanks.

Following cases should all have autocomplete, but some of them don't have. (gerrit 2.1.2.4) Project > All Project > Access > Group Name (for Registered users) Registered YES Regis NO Admin > Groups > Members (for user "Ping Yin <pkufranky@gmail.com>") Ping YES Pi NO pkufranky NO Watched Projects (for project sandbox/sandbox) sandbox YES sand NO

What database are you using? MySQL?

Yes. I'm ussing mysql

Sorry, my MySQL inquiry was directed at pkufranky. I think I've seen the behavior he is reporting on a MySQL installation, where it works fine on PostgreSQL. It seems MySQL is sorting slightly differently than Postgres or H2 does, causing completion to only trigger at word boundaries.

I just wanted to confirm that I'm seeing the completion only on word boundaries with a MySQL installation and gerrit 2.1.5. Previously I had been using the H2 db and the auto-complete triggered on each character as expected.

The issue with MySQL only completing on word boundaries still occurs in 2.2.2.1

I think this is better with 2.3.

Which database are you using? We are using MySQL on 2.3 and still have the same word boundary issue.

Completion still works on word boundaries only in Gerrit 2.7 with mysql. We are working a lot with people in India and remembering all those 15 to 20 character names correctly is really a hard task, where Gerrit should provide better user support.

This might be improved in 2.12 onwards with the switch to using Lucene for at least reviewer suggestions. |
