@omni It _can_ auto-complete, you just hit the nasty bug in Python's curses wrapper where it _really_ doesn't like very large text input boxes (fixed in 3.1, allegedly, but the fix doesn't seem to have made it to any 2.x versions). Workaround for now would be to set "length_override" in the config to something lower (anywhere between 280 and 400 tends to work for me, while not being too short to send any practical messages). In the long run, I want to replace it with a bespoke textbox anyway, since that will also overcome the complete lack of useful Unicode input support in Python's curses wrapper.
