Created attachment 235112 [details] Screenshot. Version: 4.4.0 Build id: I20130828-1800 The content assist popup takes up half my screen (at least it doesn't do a full maximize). I see this in 3.9 so I don't think it's e4's fault and I don't see it in other editrs, i.e. just JDT. Let me know if you'd like me to debug it, just tell me where to set a bp and what to look for.
I could not reproduce it on Mac with the latest Eclipse. Can you provide a concrete example where it happens? > I see this in 3.9 so I don't think it's e4's fault Did you mean 3.8? It could be that you had resized the popup earlier. If you resize it once, it keeps that size. So you can resize it to the desired size or try it on a new workspace.

Does it happen in a fresh workspace? If so, can you provide steps? > Let me know if you'd like me to debug it, just tell me where to set a bp and > what to look for. Yes, please. This would be in org.eclipse.jface.text.contentassist.CompletionProposalPopup line 621.
Pawel, I cannot reproduce this. Please reopen if you have steps to reproduce this or more data after debugging. Thanks.
Hey Dani, I finally got a minute spare minute to debug this. I do use multiple monitors and switch my screen layouts a lot. It seems that in one of these switches the popup got maximized and the size was persisted. The bug is not so severe though, because I can resize it down and it stays that way. I actually didn't even realize that I could resize the popup because the icon doesn't change on the borders. This happened to me more than once though, so I'll keep watching for what triggers the popup to maximize, (likely something to do with the retina display).
