The font used in Code Completion popups is bigger than expected when using Direct Write technology, so part of the text in the ListBox is ellipsized. Discussion started in the forum:

This patch fixes the issue while wxWidgets' devs fix wxSTC. It follows the first of New Pagodi's suggestions.

The truncation makes Code Completion hard to use with DirectWrite, so I think the patch is very helpful.

  I have tested it. It built fine, however when I open it and I go to settings->Editor/Environment and I hit 'ok' or 'cancel' (I don't even have to make a change) CB will crash and close, don't know why, maybe I did something wrong because I had a problem following the patch file.

I'm reluctant to introduce patches on our own. I prefer if the code in wxSTC is committed first and then I just sync it. If you're really interested in this being fixed please try to prepare a patch for wxSTC and work with New Pagodi and other wx devs on merging it. Then I can easily back port it. There are the popup fixes I have in the pipeline to backport.

I have just created a ticket in wxTrac

EDIT: ticket removed because C::B uses its own version of STC

This problem (and others closely related to DirectWrite) have just been fixed in wxSTC:

Merge branch 'stc-tech-fix'
