Upgraded from Eclipse Neon.03 to Eclipse 2019-03 (Win-7).

The "substring" content assist for type names no longer works.
However it still works with methods (assist-after-dot).

Example 1:

public class MyClass() {
  public void something() {
    // type the below and use content-assist expecting to get BigDecimal does not work
    bigma
  }
}

Example 2:

// trying to use content-assist to get JUnit4.class
@RunWith(jun4)
public class MyTest() {
...
}

This is something that used to work in Neon.03 AND something that is even mentioned in Eclipse 2019-03 "Tips and Tricks" section 
("Camel case support in code completion" / "Substring code completion"

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
