How can I turn off web console autocomplete?

My Firefox web console has suddenly taken to showing an autocompleted list of suggestions as I type. This makes things difficult — for instance, I have a variable called "a". I want to see the value of "a" so I type "a" and hit return.

What happens is that the list pops up and "addEventListener" is selected. Now "addEventListener" is sitting on my console instead of the "a" I typed. I must therefore type "a", hit escape and then hit return. This makes it so I frequently have to hit escape.

In the settings I only found a CSS autocomplete feature that I can toggle. In the about:config I found "devtools.editor.autocomplete" and I changed it to "false" but I'm still seeing the same behavior.

Does typing 'a' and a space character or 'a;' followed by Enter work as a workaround?

yes a+[space] and a+[esc] both work. I'd rather not have to type an extra key. I just want to turn off auto-complete.

I can't find a way to disable autocomplete in the Web Console, so I can only offer these workarounds.
