Indeed this might be a little annoyance. I have had not thought about this 
problem while developing the patch. 
I changed the autocompletion behavior to do a substring match on  the whole 
tagname including all parents only when the user typed text includes a "/". 
If the textfield does not contain a "/" the autocompletion feature does only 
a substring match on the tagname without the parents.
I think this modification should solve your problem.

I changed it to work like this.

Well, that's a bit more difficult. As I'm not a very experienced kde 
programmer I don't know if I can integrate this easily. But I agree that a 
large preview would be nice and I will have a look on it in the text days.
