Bug 4964 Automatic Code Assist needs to be smarter
Reported: 2001-10-14 17:59:54 | Status: resolved fixed

Build 204 While writing SWT code, I type the following: button.dispose At this point, I do not realize that the code assist list is up because I am not looking. There are 2 items in the list now: DISPOSED int - Widget dispose() void - Widget I then type "(" because the line I was typing was supposed to be: button.dispose(); But as soon as I type the "(" then automatic code assist seems to insert whatever is selected. Since DISPOSED is first in the list and is selected, I ended up with: button.DISPOSED which isn't even close to what I want, and I have to delete it all and start again, paying more attention this time. Code assist should notice that I have typed a ( and that this matches "dispose ()" far better than "DISPOSED". Either that, or it needs to be case sensitive when it is automatically inserting stuff.
