Does work here, assume that something corrupted your config.xml.
Temporarily rename the file in %APPDATA%\notepad++ directory, start npp and retest.

i can not reproduce this on notepad++ 7.7 on windows 7 or windows 10.
but maybe you have a windows scaling problem, due to a specific zoom percentage.

please do the following:

• exit notepad++ if it is running.
• right click on your notepad++ icon.
• select properties > compatibility > change high dpi settings.
• activate override high dpi scaling behavior.
• and set scaling performed by: to system (enhanced) instead of application, as seen at the screenshot below.

after that, open notepad++ and try to change your autocompletion character value.

many thanks and best regards.
