autocomplete and virtual desktops

HeidiSQL 9.3.0.5051 OS: Windows 10 I'm using built in Windows feature - virtual desktop (pressing Win+Tab you can create a new Desktop). Then open up HeidiSQL and have an autocomplete window opened (does not matter how, select * from + ctrl+space will do). Dismiss the autocomplete window. Now if you switch between virtual desktops with shortcut Ctrl+Win+Arrow-Right, the autocomplete window will be opened again on the wrong desktop. And it cannot be closed until you identify from which heidisql window (if you have more than one open) it came from. Only when you open up the window in question the autocomplete popup will disappear. The only workaround I found out was to use Win+Tab when switching between desktops. It does not open the autocomplete popup that way. Still very annoying...

In the attached screenshot you can see the autocomplete popup open while I'm browsing heidisql forum from firefox.

This has been reported many months ago. Obviously Ansgar doesn't want (know how) to fix it.

Still nothing? Please do something.

The problems Win10 has with its virtual desktops is matter of Microsoft. Even Adobe complained that certain progs (e.g. Photoshop CC) caused problems because Microsoft evidently did not stick to its own rulebook and had screwed up handling.

Win10 is not nicknamed Vista 2.0 for nothing.

OK, then why doesn't he disable this feature? Every time I have to type the database and table name without the dot between them. Then I type the dot and quickly hit the home or end key so that the annoying window does not pop up.
