The preference in Edit->Preferences->Tools or should turn off
autocompletion for every _new_ view. If it doesn't do that please file a
bug report with at much detail about your setup as possible.

To turn off autocompletion for an existing view use
View->ViewProperties.

(Personally I like to have autocompletion in Edit->Pref off and switch
it on in View Properties in the rare occasions that it is useful.)
