Try clicking the little icon above the "Enter" button to toggle to a 
different display option. I always leave mine in "Find" mode because the 
auto-fill flashing you describe is too distracting. It would be nice to 
have a way to set the default option, because every time you launch Rev 
you will have to change it.

The auto-fill option tries to match what you type to the closest 
Transcript term and lets you type Command/Control-number to 
automatically insert the current keyword into your script. It is 
supposed to be a user-friendly feature that ensures you will spell words 
correctly, and help you remember what the commands are. On my machine 
the auto-fill is fast enough that it doesn't interfere with typing 
though. I'm not sure why yours is so slow.
