I believe it happens since a recent upgrade (2.5 to 2.6.0.beta1).

If there is any text in front of the same line (even just a space), hen I start to write `:` following by letters or keywords, autocompletion won’t be displayed.  
However, if I start to delete letters after `:`, then the autocomplete is displayed.

If I type `:` on a new line, it works perfectly.

Here I show the 3 cases:

1. writing an emoji as the first line element (shows the autocompletion)
2. writing an emoji after existing text (don’t show the autocompletion)
3. removing a character (shows the autocompletion)

I tried in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) and it didn’t fix the issue.

edit: the issue disappears if I set **emoji autocomplete min chars** to 0.
