Nope! I don't get have issues with key press and code completion
popup. This is what I get: Suppose I am writing the statement:
x <- read.csv(file=...... in  a script editor:

x <- re

at this point i see a pop up listing the possible completions starting
with "re". I continue to type..

x <- read.

at this point i expect to see all the "read.*" completions, but none
come up. (only when pop up time out is set < 20 millisec; this doesn't
happen at higher timeout values...) I think the "." is somehow messing
the search. When I type the next letter:

x <- read.c

I see two options, "read.csv  f(x)" and "read.csv2 f(x)", I use the
down arrow key to select read.csv2 and hit enter. This is what i get:

x <- utils::"read.csv2"

Royally screwed! BTW, I might have done some changes on the Setup
window of the completion pop up, which I do not recall. Can't this
Setup be combined with the global "Configure RKward" window as
separate page?

The completion pop up doesn't show up unnecessarily for me - so that
is good; and no "eating" the first key either - whatever i type is
shown in the script editor..
