New auto-completion system is distracting

Reported by eugene.k...@gmail.com, Mar 11 2016 
Chrome Version       : 49.0.2623.87
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type something into Developer Console.
2. Type something else.
3. List of suggestions based on your previous input appears.


Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

I'm talking about the feature described here: "A smarter autocomplete in your Console" - https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/02/devtools-digest-devtools-go-dark

If you’re like me and many others, you type a command to _explore_ the context of the object and not to be distracted by a pile of commands you've tried earlier.

I also understand this is a matter of taste and preference :)

Could it be made configurable?

Thanks,
Eugene

This is the screencast: https://youtu.be/lJs1KlVsJ64

Steps:
1. I open a new tab and go to dev-tools.
2. I type something that matches debugging statements I've used in the previous tab.
3. Chrome suggests auto-completion to a completely unrelated tab.

There are multiple issues here:
1. Chrome remembers js statements typed in other tabs.
2. Chrome remembers previously typed statements <- I don't want that

Thank you for the report!  Sorry for the late response, but there's been a separate duplicate bug for this.  It looks like there was a setting introduced in the DevTools settings screen (3 dot menu > Settings) that lets you turn off Autocomplete from History.

Please see this bug for screenshots

If you have other requests for DevTools in the future, please file again :)
