Hey @castorfou. thanks for reporting. We'll take a look at this problem.

@dalthviz, could you take a look at this? Thanks!

@ccordoba12 @castorfou I was able to replicate this but first I had to change the preferences to enable autocompletion results after just 1 character (the default is 3 I think):

[dalthviz]

Note: The issue is actually caused not for an specific value but because of the change of the value. When changing it, it causes the self.automatic_completions_after_chars to become a tuple instead of just updating is number value (the tuple has the actual updated value inside). Strangely, after a Spyder restart the value is set properly
