SAS Enterprise Guide Intellisense option selection can only be accessed with mouse pointer

DataScientist — Mon, 29 May 2017 01:09:40 GMT

Hi,

I am using SAS Enterprise Guide 7.1 and am having an issue with selecting Intellisense options using the keyboard.

For example, when I type 'proc print data=work.' it shows me the Intellisense options i.e. the datasets in the work library but only allows me to select them using the mouse pointer and not the down arrow key.

Tab selects the first option (dataset).

Is there a setting in Enterprise Guide that will help me fix this?

Cheers,

Sandesh

Have you installed the latest updates? At least with 7.13 using the arrows keys (up/down) works as expected.

Thank you for your response. The install I have is 7.12. My colleagues are on 7.12 as well and it does not seem to be happening with them. Have also checked the editor / enhanced editor settings and they look exactly the same as those of my other colleagues. It might not be possible to initiate an enterprise wide update from 7.12 to 7.13 because of the issue that is happening only on my computer. Appreciate your help.
