Description David Wegener

Platform Win98
Version: 2.1
Build id: 200212041234

With 'Insert completion' unchecked for Java->Editor->Code Assist:

String s;
s.charAt();

If cursor is immedietly after the '.' Code Assist doesn't hilight anything and 
gives list of all possible completions on ctrl->space.  Selecting an item 
performs an insert without removing the charAt.

If cursor is immedietly after the 'c' in charAt Code Assist hilights 'harAt' in 
red text on yellow background and only pulls up completions beginning 
with 'C'.  Selecting an item replaces the hilighted 'harAt' with selected 
method name.

It seems as though replace behave the same way in either case.

We don't get any replace information from the content assist engine when being 
right behind a dot. Moving to core.

Seems like we should consider this scenario as legite.
