It turns out that the IDL Workbench is not honoring the "Automatically
Insert" checkbox on the Template editor dialog. Instead, it *always*
inserts the template if the subset of the name typed is unambiguous.

This is logged as a problem to be fixed in an upcoming release.

In the meantime, if you want the template to *not* be inserted
automatically, you'll have to stop typing before you've typed enough
of the name for it to be unambiguous.

Sorry for the confusion,
Doug
