popup.el (as from auto-complete) is horribly garbled in EIN

I have Jedi configured to supply completions to python-mode buffers based on what virtual environment they're in. Here's what it looks like in a normal buffer:

Now, this is what it looks like in EIN:

Additionally the auto-completion itself only works sporadically, the keyboard shortcuts for navigating the completion menu (up and down arrows, for example) instead start navigating the buffer without dismissing the popup.

I'm pretty sure this used to work (at least, I remember it working when I set it up a year or so ago), but I drop into EIN infrequently and so I'm not quite sure when it broke.

I have similar problems using elpy and its company frontend. Similarly believe I recall this working a while ago, can't do any testing atm, though, sorry.

I have the same problem. Just when I decided to reconfigure my workflow to be using ein t_t

the same issue encountered here...

edit1: can walk around it by disable font-lock-mode, however, color highlighting is also "walk arounded".

edit2: the issue can be resolved by: (setq jit-lock-defer-time 0)
although, dont't know why it works...

None of them works for me.

it seems modifying jit-lock-defer-time won't take effect immediately, eithter by using setq or customize.
try this:

  1. Customize jit-lock-defer-time to 1
  2. restart Emacs
  3. C-h v jit-lock-defer-time, to make sure its value is 1
  4. C-h v jit-lock-defer-timer, to make sure its value is [nil 0 1 0 t jit-lock-deferred-fontify nil idle 0]
  5. see if things go right in ein

Currently ein's ein-completer.el is mostly commented out, with a remark that it needs to be rewritten. Could this be the reason for the issues?

Sorry about this. It occurs to me now that #797 #796 describe the same overlay fail.
