Description Amit Dor-Shifer CLA 2007-09-19 06:07:53 EDT
Build ID: M20060921-0945

Steps To Reproduce:
1. type "new", then ctrl-space, and select the "create new object" template.
2. type the type's prefix, then auto-complete it. 
3. Upon autocompletion, editor exits template mode. In this case, the "new" template retains the "arguments" field. I can no longer skip to it using 'tab', as I could in template completion mode.


More information:
This problem is further aggravated when overwrite mode is on and autocompletion first does a partial complete, then prompts me for a specific selection. (For instance: typeing 'Soc' for one of the Socket classes). In this situation, the type is only partially autocompleted:
before assigning 'type':
       type name = new type(arguments);
After typing prefix:
        Soc name = new Soc(arguments);
After pressing ctrl-space for auto-completion:
        Socket name = new Socket(arguments);
After selecting 'SocketAdaptor' from the dialog (note how 'name' was partially overwritten to 'me')
        SocketAdaptorme = new Socket(arguments);

This got introduced with R3.2.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
