Description Stephan Herrmann CLA 2015-08-02 17:16:57 EDT 
It seems people don't expect "quick assists" when they see the menu item called "Quick Fix". [1]

- Should the menu item name be context sensitive according to presence / absence of a fixable problem at the cursor location?

Assuming that only one kind of assists will be offered at a time, there shouldn't be a conflict in naming the menu item.

It could also confuse people if we rename it after so many years. If we start to look into this we also have to go over our documentation, which is not consistent regarding this.

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.
