within active code templates, one can modify variable names and they will change in all template locations, a bit like in refactoring. In addition, code completion is available (not in refactoring). Code completion for methods inserts code correctly UNLESS you type some prefix letters first before choosing a completion.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This is a bug that occurs when using code completion in a code template.
It can always be reproduced, but the template needs to remain active (blue frames around variables). If you leave the eclipse window and deactivate the template, the bug does not occur.

to reproduce, write this method:

public static void test(Object obj) {
		i
	}

the cursor shout be after the "i". From now on, do not switch focus from the eclipse window, and press only keys as suggested below. Press Ctrl-Space, select instanceof template.
Code now looks like this:
   if (obj instanceof type) {
    type new_name = (type) obj;
   }

press arrow right to unselect 'obj'.
Press '.'
-> popup opens offering the methods on java.lang.Object.
type 'not'
-> popup offers notify() and notifyAll()
with arrow keys and return, select no notifyAll.

Result, code looks like this:

if (obj.notifyAll()nstanceof type) {
 type new_name = (type) obj.notifyAll();
}

should look like this
if (obj.notifyAll() instanceof type) {
 type new_name = (type) obj.notifyAll();
}

the more you type into code completion before selecting ('notify' instead of 'not') the more gets overwritten.

The same happens also for other templates, not just the instanceof template.
