I just installed the latest build of FinalBuilder and am wondering if the variable autocomplete feature is broken. I use this feature to modify fixed file and directory paths to make them relative to the project directory using the %FBPROJECTDIR% variable. In the latest version it seems like autocompletion has switched from "insert" mode to "overwrite" mode.
For example, a "source" field contains:
C:\Development\Application 1\Help\Help.Doc
If I place the cursor at the begining of the string without highlighting any of the string, enter/select the variable %FBPROJECTDIR%, and press enter to copy the variable to the text field, I now end up with:
%FBPROJECTDIR% 1\Help\Help.Doc
With prior versions I would end up with
%FBPROJECTDIR%C:\Development\Application 1\Help\Help.Doc
However, it seems like this is more than an insert/overwrite issue, since more of the string is getting overwritten than there are characters in the variable name.
Thanks,
-Scott
