Description David Audel CLA 2006-04-25 13:02:40 EDT 
From bug 94705.

The spec of ICodeAssist#codeSelect() doesn't descibe that we return the element just before the offset when the length is 0.

1) create X.java
class X implemnents Runnable| {
}
2) Do F3 at | location.
Comment 1 David Audel CLA 2006-04-25 13:29:54 EDT 
I suggest to add the following lines to the spec of ICodeAssist#codeSelect(...)

* <p>
* Note that if the <code>length</code> is 0 and the <code>offset</code> is inside an identifier 
* or the index just after an identifier then this identifier is considered as the selection.
* </p>
