I don't have 'overwrite' enabled for code assist, because in most cases (when I'm just inserting something) I don't want it to overwrite the following characters. However, when I've selected an option that ends with the following text, I'd like it to be overwritten: string.le|th() -> code assist at | -> string.length(); string.le|other() -> code assist at | -> string.length()other() This comes in handy when changing subclasses, specifically those that follow the rule of ending in the name of the superclass. For example: new |Applet() -> new Ex|Applet() -> code assist at | -> new ExampleApplet|() So, when point-from-cursor-to-end-of-word is a suffix of the selected-code-completion, do a replace; otherwise do an insert.
There's currently now work planned in this area.
Get rid of deprecated state.
Alex, the version points to the first occurrence of the problem and should not be updated just because the (open) bug still occurs.
Surely the history can tell you what the bug was originally raised against? The suggestion is just as valid to the 3.7 release as the 3.0 release though. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_activity.cgi?id=57460
