Sometimes the auto complete works for things like

header
aside
section

sometimes it doesnt ... more times than not it doesnt work ... the auto complete works almost all the other tags ...

and also sometimes when I go to type out a tag and I do a Typo ... sometimes when I back up with the backspace it reconsiders what I was trying to type in ... sometimes this works sometimes it doesnt ...

i did that clear reinstall exe file that is posted along with the manual clear reinstall option that was mentioned in the forum ... to see if that would clean things up ...

and ... LOL ... sorry ... when I would try to save <header> it would say you cant because its already saved ... but it doesnt complete the tag like a normal tag ..

thanks for your time and help on this ...

There is always a caveat when you talk about auto. Every response is dependent on an input. If that input is unexpected then the output is incorrect. Remember that early computer jargon "Garbage in equals Garbage out". That is as true to day as it always was.

I use the snippets or the start of a tag, and sometimes the program try's to predict what I want and fails.
Find what works best for you and take that road.

Accept the things you cannot change, change those things you can and learn to know the difference.
I admit it can be frustrating at times but make it work for you and know when it will work against you. It is only a tool albeit quite a good one.

Programming a web page and programming an app is much the same, you finish with a lot of reusable code, so the more you do the less design required.
