Description Duncan Jones CLA 2014-01-29 03:15:19 EST 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Type 'new InputStreamReader', press Ctrl-Space and from the list of available constructors select the one with a single InputStream parameter.

2. Observe that the text now reads 'new InputStreamReader([in])', where '[in]' is a place-holder for the argument.

3. Sometime later, decide that you wish to use a different overload of the constructor. Add a comma after the current argument and press Ctrl-Space. Select the overload that also includes a CharSet parameter.

4. Observe how place-holders are not added. Instead, an argument hint list is visible above the method.

My request is for this behaviour to be changed so that when I select a different overload, place-holders are inserted into my code so I can tab between them and complete them.

Desired outcome:

'new InputStreamReader(firstArgument, [cs])', where '[cs]' is a place-holder for the CharSet argument.
