Code Completion feature too aggressive

While Code Completion saves me time and helps me avoid errors due to unbound variable names, I am getting frustrated by it because it is too aggressive at completing my code. In particular, when I am typing single digits it suggests longer numbers that happen to match in my document. Or it will match a word that has a different capitalization or pluralization, or will match a longer word; then I wind up with capitals or plurals or the longer word when I don't want them.

Steps to reproduce:

1. File > New empty file
2. Type
25 21 2 1
25, 21, 2, 1

Type a bit on the slow side, as I do.

Actual results:
25 21 25 1
25, 21, 21, 1

Expected results:
25 21 2 1
25, 21, 2, 1

I would only have expected the actual result if I had typed a tab or return after typing the second "2". How do I get code completion not to complete upon pressing the space bar or a punctuation symbol. Having to press Esc to banish the autocomplete list really throws off my typing rhythm.

The only workaround I have found is to set the Code Completion delay to 2 seconds, which kind of takes away some of the advantage of using Code Completion. I don't want

Any suggestions?
