Annotator not executing when completion popup is present

[dseptimus (David Septimus)]

Is it expected behavior that Annotators don’t execute on the current element while the completion popup is active?

In the following example, I have custom highlighting for YAML aliases to distinguish them from anchors.

When I start typing out an alias, it initially has the standard anchor color (green). Only once I close the completion popup does it actually update the color to my alias color (orange).

Hello. Yes, it’s expected. The highlighting is paused when the popup is shown to avoid annoying blinking in the middle of (important) UI interaction. WHen the popup is closed, the highlighting resumes

I see. Thanks for clarifying.
