Since (I think) the latest compulsory update of Picasa to "3.9.0 Build 136.1900, 0 for Linux" I no longer get Tag Suggestions when starting to type in a tag to add.
Existing tags are still visible in old pictures & new tags typed in stick OK, but just no list of previous tags to select from.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks!

I further found that when typing in Search terms, no suggestions are made.
I checked Picasa 3.9 in Windows7 and that behaves the same.
I checked Picasa 3.8 I still have in Ubuntu 10.04 & that does present a drop-down list of suggestions as soon as I start typing in either the Tags box or the Search box.
So normally I just type one letter & select the term I want from the list.
To me, the behaviour of 3.8 is good & the behaviour of 3.9 is rubbish.
How can I get good behaviour back?
Thanks for any suggestion!

Short of some kind of interaction with the google dev's, I see no other
option than reinstalling 3.8. You did retain the picasa38-setup.exe?
if not, I still have a copy:

Thanks for your offer.
In the meantime, I found that autocompletion of Tags & Search terms has also gone missing for regular Picasa users as well as just Linux:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/picasa/picasa-for-windows/GooQNS4DTDQ
Apparently the problem occured in 3.9.0 Build 36.19 & has been fixed in build 36.20.
So hopefully that build will get to me one day...
I will wait a little longer before maybe taking up your offer of 3.8.
But thanks again!

because of the sign-in problems, and are there any workarounds?

a delay when picasa starts up?

You have peaked my curiosity, I get a blank xterm window when I try to
"Sign in with Google Account" via picasa. I am already signed in but not
via any app using wine.
Starting firefox under wine, logging into google.plus, then initiating
picasa still show "Sign in with Google Account" and initiating that again
provides an empty xterm instance.
???
How are you getting there?
ps: Did you *really* mean "updating .. version 136.1200", or did you not
recently upgrade picasa. I am at 136.2000.

Hullo, Patrick. I did indeed recently - a few days ago - update to 136.1200, 0, as shown in the attached screen shot below. I am unfamiliar with a version 136.2000 ; the «Search for updates» alternative under «Help» is greyed out, which I interpret to mean that no updates are presently available. I start Picasa directly via the standard icon in the Cinnamon menu in 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04....
