CSS Inspector does not add ;

I have one annoyance with Rapid CSS 2006, if I choose a css setting from the inspector pane, it does not add the closing ; to the line, so it is entered as

font-size: small

If I add multiple settings, the ; is added to the previously selected setting, just not the latest.

If I use autocomplete then the ; is added once a keyword is selected and I get

font-size: ;

This is annoying me and I would have thought others as well, so I am thinking that it is a setting I have not found rather than a bug.

I am currently using 7.3.0.69

Confirmed. I think the 'not adding the ; when using the inspector' is indeed an oversight, but the 'if I use autocomplete then the ; is added' is correct - at this point the autocomplete should fire up with a context-aware selection, eg, 'background' will give you valid values for the background tag.

The ; at the very last line is not necessary, thus it is not added. You need no ; before the } bracket. (It is correct by specification)

AC adds ; because it is more convenient in this situation, however it is also no error if you do have ; before }

I don't use the inspector but I'd be bummed if the last semi-colon weren't added. Yes, it's in spec to leave it off but when you go to add more later... just good coding practice to add one to the end each line.
