Description Mark Waschkowski CLA 2002-03-28 10:47:08 EST 
Sometimes auto completion works, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't figured 
out why. Sometimes refreshing from local and then rebuilding works, but not 
consistently. Its gotten bad enough that I can hardly use the feature.

I originally had the delay at 500 ms, and changed it to 1.

If you can help, it would be much appreciated. I'm using the march 21 version 
of eclipse, and if you would like any other info, please email me. I work 
during the day.

Thanks so much,

Mark

Does explicit completion (ctrl-space) works ok in situation where auto-complete 
doesn't work for you ?

Suspecting this has to do with automatic activation of codeassist rather than 
the engine per se.

Moving to JDT/UI

Actually, user confirmed that ctrl-space would not work in similar situations.
So this must be a Jdt/Core problem.

Need some reproduceable test case though for us to address it. There are a 
couple of rare scenarii where code assist doesn't work (and have bug reports 
for these).

Closing. We have other reports with testcases.
