The dot Command not able to repeat text inserted by "Auto-complete"

Thanks for the clarification and yes it is more useful for the "C-." to
behave in the way you explained.

However, there is still some problems I believe around here. After the 8
steps I listed in the previous email, and maybe keep pressing "C-." a few
more times, undo all the changes so far and restart the above 8 steps again,
this time when pressing the "C-." for the first time the line becomes
"aaaeeeaaa" which is good, however, pressing "C-." again would clear the
line as well as the "Buffer Modified Flag" (buffer indicated as "no change")
as opposed to changing the line to "aaaeeeeee", pressing "C-." the third
time would mess up the next line in the buffer.

Hope this helps.

No, it should be aaaeeeaaa. C-. is bound to `evil-pop-repeat' and it
replaces the just repeated command with the previously recorded one.
This is similar to Emacs' kill ring, where you can use C-y to paste
some yanked text and M-y the replace this text with previously yanked
text rotating the kill-ring. Evil arranges recorded commands similarly
in a "repeat-ring" and C-. cycles through that ring when used
immediately after a ".", hence the behavior you describe is by
intention. In order to get "aaaeeeeeeaaa" use . two times followed by a
C-.
