In cases like the one shown on the image, the suggestion list should close itself since there is no further need for it. This usually gets in the way when replacing names manually, then the suggestion list remains open and one has to cancel it before moving on the the next line.

Have you tried turning on the setting for suggestion listboxes to close on an exact match?

This makes it somewhat better, but seems not to work always:

Is this C# again, or C++? This doesn't look right, so I want to make sure I am testing the right language.

Yes C# (and somehow I am close to disabling a few features of VA, there is so much that is not working quite right at the moment)

My current settings for the suggestion lists

File context makes a small amount of difference here, but I have this happening most of the time, certainly enough to put in a clear bug report:

case=142123

I have found that while Up and Down arrows don't close this listbox, Left, Right, Home and End do dismiss this listbox, which might help working around it slightly less irritating for you.

Yep, noticed that too. In the end, pressing esc, or any other key doesnt make much of a difference if I have to cancel the list manually. Anyway, good you can repro it.
