The backslash appended to folders in auto-complete makes auto-complete incompatible with the common use pattern "select from list - press backslash - select from list - press backslash - ..." as customary on Windows. Now the backslash has to be deleted before it is typed again to bring up the list.
The new behaviour was introduced by 25.10.11 addition "Auto-complete: Always append backslash to folders, except in main window command line (32/64)"
I suggest one of the following modifications:
1) Revert to the previous behaviour (no backslash) - of course, this would conflict with whatever the reason for the new behaviour was.
2) Make this behaviour optional (at least through ini) - this would clutter the configuration.
3) Make the appended backslash selected - typing the backslash would overwrite the selection and open the list.

Do not append backslash to folders in auto-complete

Perhaps another modification will make everyone happy: if a directory (with a backslash appended) is selected in the drop-down list, typing backslash would not add one more (superfluous) backslash but just drop the list down again with the next set of directories and files.
This would make it as smooth as it used to be and keep the appended backslash as well.
