When inserting a \item command from LaTeX -> Listes -> \item, a space follows the command inserted: so far, so good. But this is not the case when this command is inserted by completion.
It's probably historical, that Texmaker inserted a space for the menu entry.
Not really sure about this, but I don't think you can make the completer insert spaces right now. And I rather wouldn't do it.
So what is your request?

Indeed, I should have been more specific: when you use the completer for inserting an \item command, you're looking:
either for \item[label], either because you're in a description list or because you want to override the default item label of an itemize or a enumerate list,
or for \item because you're either in an itemize or in a enumerate list.
In the latter case, after \item is inserted, you need a space before continue to type you text (\itemfoo vs \item foo). Okay, you could just press the space key, but it would be more convenient if this space could be automatically inserted by TXS.
BTW, in the former case, a space isn't necessary (\item[foo]bar is okay), but in this case as well, an extra space could be nice (\item[foo] bar is more readable).

Ok. :) But strictly speaking, without context this isn't possible anywhere. You may always want \item[label] from the menu \item. And the completer does not support spaces at all.

I don't see what you mean.
We currently have the space when inserting via menu. But in general, you don't always want a space because you may want \item[label]. As a compromise, I could add an extra \item[label] entry to the menu.
The space could be absent from the completer, but inserted after the corresponding entry would be chosen.
The completer just returns a string which is then inserted. You proposition would mean, that I have to reparse the string, check if it \item, modify it depending on the context and then insert. I don't think it's reasonable to hard code this just for getting a space.

I'd prefer an half good solution rather than a completely bad one! ;)
So without any space is half good?
No, I meant to let the space whenever it is possible.

I guess this issue may be closed as it is now implemented.
