Visual Studio 2012's Intellisense no longer accepting suggestion on spacebar press

Question

I've been using Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 on multiple PC's, installed there by other person or by me. Always intellisense suggestion on it worked like this:

I start typing, window pops with suggestions, with current suggestion highlighted, and I can press spacebar to accept the suggestion.

However, since i installed Visual Studio 2012 on my current PC (it is a relatively fresh Win7 64x install, it had VS2010 installed before) it works differently.

Now, it no longer highlights the suggestion. I have to use CTRL+ENTER to accept suggestion or DOWN to make it selected so that spacebar will accept it. This is really uncomfortable to use.

I tried resetting my settings (Tools -> Import and Export Settings -> Reset Settings) but it didnt help. It tried looking for help but noone knows or has this problem it seems.

What am I doing wrong? How to revert to old behavior?

Answer 1

Do you have Toggle Completion Mode selected in Edit | IntelliSense menu? If so then click on it to unselect it.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. I know this worked for me when I was working with Java Script at least. Go to Tools>Options>Text Editor>JavaScript>IntelliSense Then make sure that the "Only use Tab or Enter to commit" is UN checked. Hope this helps, or at least gets you on the right track.
