1. %config Completer.use_jedi = False is no longer working, so no Jupyter autocompletion is enabled and no autocompletion for column names when using dot notation.
   Auto complete for file/path name and pandas column name with bracket access pylance-release#851
   Autocomplete hangs the kernel for interactive window #1300
   

2. The code entering field is fixed at the bottom, so the autocompletion blocks your code completely sometimes.
   
   

3. unnecessary checking

Thanks @StevenLi-DS, will discuss at next triage meeting

May I know why %config Completer.use_jedi = False is no longer working? I thought it is just Jupyter notebook settings.

This looks to be a bug in our autocomplete for the interactive window. We aren't asking jupyter for any autocomplete in the input box anymore.

[stevenlis]

Is there a current workaround for the second issue I mentioned above?

The code entering field is fixed at the bottom, so the autocompletion blocks your code completely sometimes.

Sorry not sure what you're referring to when you say it blocks your code? You mean it comes up on top of it visually? AFAIK this is by design

[stevenlis]

You mean it comes up on top of it visually?

Yes. I think the current design didn't take consideration of the fact that the code entering field is fixed in the lower right corner. It seems like this is a general issue in vscode if you type code in the lower right position.

Thanks. I created a new issue in VS code for that:
microsoft/vscode#133622

@rchiodo 3. unnecessary checking is really annoying, and you have no way to stop it once it's somehow triggered. It underlines my code even if I enter something like df.head(). Could you guys at least add a toggle or something, I can disable this checking in the interactive window for good?

You'd have to disable intellisense altogether (it's a bug). If you switch to 'jedi' as the language server for python code, those squiggles won't show up.

[stevenlis]

@rchiodo Is this a known issue and logged on your end?

[rchiodo]

Other than in this issue, I don't think we have a separate bug for it. Looks like there's a newline problem in the concatenation of the cells as we pass them to pylance.

2nd issue is actually covered by this #8021

[rchiodo]

Intellisense should be working again in the insiders version.
