Description Amir Kouchekinia CLA 2007-08-22 01:19:56 EDT 
Build ID: I20070625-1500

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Trigger content assist on a field that uses org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField with SimpleContentProposalProvider 
2. If one of the choices is 'foo' and another is 'foobar', typing 'foo' in the field will remove it from the list of proposals leaving 'foobar' selected. If the user presses the enter key, foobar is placed in the field instead of 'foo'.


More information:
To fix the problem, change line 70:

From: if (proposals[i].length() > contents.length()

To: if (proposals[i].length() >= contents.length()

Fixed in HEAD >20070926.

Gotta love it when such a silly error is present in a class called "SimpleContentProposalProvider."  ;-)

Thanks for the fix.
