Description Max Gilead CLA 2004-06-10 19:48:57 EDT 
Cursor jumps to next block of text after autocompletion is used. In this example
below:

private void foo()
    {
    int a = "".le
    double foo = 0.0;
    }

place cursor after '.le' in third line and press Ctrl+Space to actiavate
autocompletion - method name is completed correctly but cursor jumps to the
middle of 'double' word.

3.0RC1 Linux/GTK

I suspect mixed "Tab for spaces" and formatter tab usage settings. 

Marking as dup of the preferences bug since that is really what is the problem.

I'm not sure if this is really a dup since curstor shouldn't me moved at all -
it should stay at the end of text inserted by autocomplete. In other words, if
autocompletion tries to insert newline and move cursor four character right,
mixing spaces and  tabs (indeed it looks that way) then it's still problem with
autocompletion - it shouldn't try to insert newline and do anything else at all
in the first place.

hm, perhaps closing was too fast - I cannot reproduce however. Please reopen
with your preferences attached.

I'm seeing the the same bug on 3.0.1/linux. I can use eclipse for a while,
sometimes several days, without problems, but suddenly it starts moving the
cursor to a few characters into the next line, each time I use autocomplete. The
only workaround I've found is to restart eclipse. 

I have "Editor->Typing->Insert spaces for tabs" enabled and "Code
formatter->Indentation->Use tab character" disabled.

Anything in .log?
Comment 6 Max Gilead CLA 2004-12-05 17:05:58 EST 
Just wanted to say that I personally didn't experience this problem for quite
some time now (using 3.1M3 currently).
Comment 7 Dani Megert CLA 2004-12-06 04:28:03 EST 
OK, thanks. I close as remind.
Comment 8 Dani Megert CLA 2007-06-22 09:59:10 EDT 
Get rid of deprecated state.
