   I've experienced this too if I zoom out of the schematic too much. But
   I still like the autocomplete function. I found that I can avoid this
   little anomaly another way. I found that by just zooming in to an
   appropriate level helps avoids this problem. As I'm connecting nets in
   the schematic, I frequently zoom in to click on the point to start the
   net, zoom out a little to see the destination, move the mouse pointer
   over the destination, zoom back in close enough to complete the net. Of
   course, there would be some intermediate steps if the net has to
   traverse a distance across the page. And all I do is use the mouse
   roller to control the zoom at the same time.
