The auto-filling function of the Edit window is useful
with some fields, but annoying with others. It makes
great sense with Author, Journal and Keywords fields,
because they get repeated a lot. On the contrary, the
Title field almost never repeats in my field, which is
physics. The auto-fill keeps on offering me another
article title, which begins with the same word and
usually I have to fiddle with delete and escape, where
straight writing would be simplier.
Therefore, I would greatly welcome an option to turn
the auto-fill mechanism for selected fields off.
Thanks,

The autocomplete feature is specifically
designed not to insert automatically for
this reason, but only show you the popup.
In order for it to insert, you have to use the
arrow keys to scroll the list.
If you are using OS X 10.3.9, please try
our latest nightly build, since there were
a few bugs in Panther that I worked around
for our next release.
