Thread: Creating table - adding columns

I've tried this, and got same behaviour on both PgAdmin 1.2.0 and 1.4.0.
When I get to 'New column' window, I enter name, then I press 'TAB', and
in data type field, if I start typing the colum type (for instance, I
want int4) PgAdmin tries to finish the type name for me, in some weired
way (for instance, I want int4, I start typing in, and PgAdmin always
presumes I want 'inet'. And even if I finish typing int4, I end up with
int4net). So I need to click on the dropdown to find int4 in the list,
wich is tedious, and sometimes even frustrating.

I'm using PgAdmin 1.2.0 on Debian Testing, and Ubuntu 5.04. I compiled
1.4.0 from sources, and I got the same behaviour there.

I was using PgAdmin 1.2.0 on WindowsXP, and I didn't experience that
problem on Windows.

Hm, this guessing mechanism doesn't work correctly with gtk, and should 
be disabled (I thought it is).

Some fine day I'll rewrite the type selector. Using a combobox isn't 
really comfortable, since too many types are available.
