pgAdmin 4 - preferences settings not applied

I'm using pgAdmin 4 (v. 6.12) on Windows 10.

Since (I believe) version 6.10 I've noticed that autocomplete always shows up. I tried to change preferences settings to only show it on Ctrl + space:

Auto completion settings

But it made no difference - autocomplete is always shown.

Then I've noticed, that some other settings are not respected, for example insert bracket pairs: enter image description here

This is how editor looks just after typing opening bracket: enter image description here

This is very annoying. I've completely removed previous installation of pgAdmin: uninstalled it, deleted all files and folders with pgAdmin in name and did the same in Windows registry. But new installation behaves the same.

New installation was made only for my user account, not for Anyone who uses this computer option.

Like you, I was also unable to turn off autocomplete-on-type after installing 6.12.

When using the web client, I was able to log out and log back in to solve it.

UPDATE from comments: using the Windows application, Adam was able to clean session data from the registry, open the editor window, change settings, close editor window, change settings… And it started to work again.

More details...

It happened to me in Ubuntu when I first upgraded to 6.12 and restarted the server, while the client was connected. The web client appears to have held on to a session that at first seemed to work. Once I logged out and log back in, my autocomplete-on-type OFF setting was respected again.

I agree that this bug is completely frustrating. I'm not sure why anyone would want the autocomplete-on-type setting enabled, pgadmin4 is unusable with it on.
