IBeX-GT/TGG editor: Insert space after autocompletion of EReferences

[RolandKluge]

The autocompletion for 'link variables' inserts the EReference name. This leads to the effect that pressing ctrl+space afterwards leads to the first suggestion being the EReference again. This could be resolved by inserting a space upon automcompletion.

How to reproduce (using handbook example):

• Create pattern with variable next : Field {}
• Inside the braces press, add "-"
• Press ctrl+space and select "figure"
• Press ctrl+space again. Now, I would expect to see only "->", but "figure" appears, first.

I agree that one expects to see only ->, but I didn't find a way to automatically add a space when a autocompletion proposal for a reference is accepted. The TGG editor has the same problem.

Could the following hint help?

Any progress? Have you been able to reproduce? Is it clear what this issue means?
