I cannot change the settings for autocompletion after nth character.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
- Menu bar, click Settings
- click Preferences
- From the box of options on the left, click "Auto-Completion"
- In the top right of the dialogue box, there is a field to change when Auto-Completion suggestions are triggered. The field shows "From 1 th character".
- When I click "1" to change it to a different number, a text entry field appears. I am not able to input any number in this field.
- The setting is stuck at 1th.

When I clicked on the field in step 5, I was unable to enter any digit at all.
