Description

When I start typing something like Adw.StatusPage the suggestions quickly get narrowed down to Adw.Statusbar
grafik

so Adw.StatusPage is not for choice. That happens with other classes, too.

Only after I remove the letters after Adw. and type them again, I get the desired suggestion:

grafik

Is that how it should work? It looks like a bug to me.

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the Adw.StatusPage and Adw.Statusbar suggestion behavior described in the issue, then trace the suggestion filtering path to determine why typing after Adw. narrows results incorrectly. Done means the intended class remains selectable without deleting and retyping the prefix, with a regression test if the existing suggestion tests cover this behavior.
