OK thanks. Then I still the behavior that hitting return inserts the
current suggestion, not a line break. But now this can only happen if
the newly typed word matches the beginning of a previous longer word (or
a function name), of course. Not sure if that problem is simply beyond
the scope of the fix.
Like Tab, the Return/Enter key is bound to "activate-proposal" in
gtksourceview (versions 2.0 and 3.0). That could be removed in our
patched version for Windows and Mac, but the approved procedure
would be: hit Esc to dismiss the proposal(s), then Enter. It seems
quite natural to me that Enter should accept a proposal.
