code completion is not always working. although a file was saved, has no error, nor the project (which would sometimes prevent normal content assist), we can't get the popup for available completion after the "." must restart. no error in error log. 3.0 M5
quartz, - do you have any steps of how you got into the described state? - Is this new in M5? - Does the completion proposal popup still work when manually (Ctrl+Space) invoked (i.e. is only the autoactivation feature missing, or the entire story)?
actually ctrl-space didn't work at those moments too. (I remember because I was trying to force it, and it wouldn't popup.) I can't give precise trail. But I have seen many weird editor behavior when the code is edited and may contains compile errors. (like unexisting problems that remain in the styled text). I guess the content assist engine is a bit too easy to throw off course. I usually get rid of those inconsistencies by first saving. If not solved, I comment out the faulty code and save. If not yet, I close and reopen.
and yes, it is frequent in M5. I didn't experienced that with 3.0 i20030910 as far as I can remember, although it had other rare problems not worth mentionning (*read, that I don't experience often enought to remember :)
Just for clarification: Your code had syntax errors when you tried to invoke content assist, but your judgement is that the error should not have prevented the content assist engine from finding possible completions?
Waiting for user input.
Code completion is like air: it's not important until youdon't get any. All I know is that in previous version, my normal day of work didn't involve waiting to finally manually type that much code. Code completion was working even with errors in the code. You know better than me what might have changed. Beside, I got the nightly build of dec. 22nd, seams fine. I would close this bug, it was fixed by the ghost developper again...
Well, not quite the answer to the question asked in comment 5 but if you tell us we can close it then we do so.
I meant comment 4
Get rid of deprecated state.
