[OS X TeX] autocomplete invalid -- TeXShop/BibDesk with too many cite keys

[Jung-Tsung Shen]

Adam and Herb,

Thanks for the reply and confirmation. I actually did not cite too many
citations -- my cite keys are somewhat descriptive, like
icecreamvanila:2005, icecreamcherrygarcia:2007, and so on; it only takes a
few to fill up the range. I will use Herb's work-around for now.

Best,
JT
