Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Owen Arnold

Description

Seen on Windows 7. In Mantid since at least the 2.1.0 release.

To reproduce:

  • Enter the following script into the MantidPlot Python console, replacing the filename string to point to some file you have: 
filename = "C:/test/OSIRIS/osi95111_graphite002_Correct_95157.nxs"
Load(Filename=filename,OutputWorkspace="test")

ws = mtd["test"]
  • Hit Ctrl+Enter to run the script.
  • Add a new line to the end of the script, by doing exactly the following:
    • Type ws.getD
    • Hit Enter to autocomplete to ws.getDetector
    • Hit "(" to open up some function brackets.

Mantid will crash.

Avoid crash during autocompletion in ScriptEditor. Refs #5418

Implements a workaround for a bug in QScintilla. The modification to the python is not strictly necessary but it helps with comparisons under the hood.
