Jira advanced search autocomplete eats next word

stdedos

If I have a complete query, and I try to add more things in the middle of it, words get eaten up:

e.g.:

filter = "x" and assignee = currentUser() ORDER BY updated DESC
#                              caret here ^

filter = "x" and assignee = currentUser() anORDER BY updated DESC
#                                caret here ^, press "Enter" to autocomplete 'AND'

filter = "x" and assignee = currentUser() AND  BY updated DESC 
#                                  caret here ^ 

filter = "x" and assignee = currentUser() AND tes BY updated DESC 
#                                     caret here ^  

I know the workarounds, but I don't think it's hard to fix it!

Hi @stdedos ,

The issue that you are facing is in group of one of the most annoying usability bugs that exist in auto-complete JQL advanced search.. I was not able to find exactly your problem but very similar problems (or even worse) are described here..

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-65022

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-68452

Overall at least for your problem the workarounds exist - for example put the cursor one whitespace before the next argument ..

filter = "x" and assignee = currentUser() a ORDER BY updated DESC
#                              caret here ^

and I agree with you - this should be fixed however I think we cannot do more than just report this and vote for the tickets that are created.
