Duet AI unexpected forced line break during autocompletion (when using soft-wrap).

[andreas-timm]

Expected Behavior

Display autocomplete without force line breaks.

Actual Behavior

Line breaks occur in unexpected places, often several at a time, and this behavior changes dynamically as you continue typing. This makes using the Duet AI autocompletion feature almost impossible.

Thanks for report @andreas-timm. We are looking into this. We saw other similar reports when there is an additional plugin(s) installed related to editing - do you have any editing plugins installed, such as Vim/Emacs?

@ivanporty
Thank you very much.
I reproduced this issue with an empty JetBrains profile without any other plugins.

I think you have "softwrap" enabled on this editor - I see the curved line icons at the end of each line and long lines are wrapped - what happens if you disable this?

[andreas-timm]

Yes, without "Soft-Wrap" enabled, lines are not wrapped (and the autocomplete suggestion is visible only partially).
This issue does not occur when "Soft-Wrap" is disabled.

Thanks for confirming @andreas-timm. We are working on a better completion integration deeper into IDE editing, and hopefully this will help with the issue here soon. I will update on the progress

I am so happy I found this. That wrapping was driving me crazy and actually making me disable the Duet AI. Many times the suggestions were quite good, but I effectively couldn't use them because of the apparent soft-wrapping (note: actual lines are not wrapped).
Please address this issue, as from all the AI tools I tested so far, Duet (Gemini) seems to be the best for my needs.

[ivanporty]

We have a path to fix this, and we will update here when it's released.

@ivanporty Any news on when that might get released? The shifting of the page keeps forcing me to disable Gemini every time I want to write documentation in our apps. We rely on soft-wrap in our docs.
