Value suggestion leads to wrong number inputed

Now I just found the same issue but manifested in a different way, now in the Conditional Format panel…

After I type [Column]>1 and hit ENTER it autocompletes with the suggested value 0.1.

Conditional Formating Autocomplete Bug

Before that, when I only had typed [Column]> it clearly showed me that it would autocomplete with a 0 after that

Autocomplete 1 - Copia

But after typing the 1, there’s no signal that it would autocomplete with anything:

And when I hit ENTER it grabbed the value 0.1 instead of 1:

Enter

In other words, it has the same problem of grabbing an “auto-highlighted” suggested value after you hit ENTER without clear indication that it will autocomplete with that.

This will probably cause a lot of accidental wrongly inputted data. The Coda team really need to rethink the behavior of these suggested values. In the previous case, it selected a value just because I left the cursor where a suggested value would pop (without me clicking on it or something like that which would suggest more clear intent) and in this second case it grabbed a suggested value without me hitting TAB (or ) and showing me the autocompleted value after what I have typed already.

I hope what I’m saying makes any sense to you…
