I've just started using Geany again lately, with 0.17, after a long spell using just Gedit. Gedit doesn't really do completion and I didn't really miss it much, but coming back to Geany, this completiontiontion stuff is really quite annoying - it makes the completion feature annoying about 50% of the time I use it and I've increasingly found my self pressing escape when it pops up, especially when editing existing code.
So, in essence, this new vesrion sounds much better and I think it should probably be the default.

I'm not sure whether we need a pref for it. I'd say let's use it for
some time and then decide. So far after about an hour of using this
change, I got three times into a replacement where more were deleted
than I wanted. But I think this is just a matter of time to get used to
the changed behaviour. Let's see.
