pgAdmin 4 - very poor performance of Query-Tool autocomplete, is it normal?

Viewed 1145

Some time ago I've moved from mySql's phpMyAdmin to postgres's pgAdmin 4. What I've noticed is that pgAdmin's query tool has very slow autocompletion. Usually it's just faster to type keyword/identifier on your own than waiting till autocompletion will appear.

When I click ctrl+space it takes around 0.5-1 second to appear, horrible.

In compairsion when I use autocompletion in phpMyAdmin, it appears almost immadiately.

My question is, does it work so slowly for you too? Is there any way to fast it up? Or I have to use some third party program to get faster autocompletion?

Cheers.

[EDIT]

I've also tried the online trial of pgAdmin and here autocompletion is a little bit faster but still not even close to phpMyAdmin's one.

Just to add to this, the autocompletion has made pgadmin unusable for me. If I briefly pause to think about a query while I'm navigating, suddenly a list will appear over the SQL I'm looking at, and the arrow key context will be hijacked to navigate that list instead, which is, as you can imagine, jarring.
