[QScintilla] auto complete bug

[Gedalia Pasternak]

It doesn't seem like having 2 separators in a row should break autocomplete.
I'd think that at least it would pick up mess as something that could
potentially be auto completed.
Can you suggest a fix, or explain why a fix would be a bad thing?

thanks
