In the Eclipse Java editor, Content Assist always worked for me like this:
- Start typing variable name
- Press ctrlspace - a list of suggestions appears, the correct one is highlighted
- Press . - the highlighted suggestion is inserted and a new suggestion popup appears, showing members/methods for this variable.
Just now, I upgraded to 4.5 (Mars) and now step 3 does not work any more: Instead of pressing . and just continuing typing, I have to press return. Nowhere in the preferences (Java / Editor / Content Assist) does there seem to be a setting to change this.
What do I have to do to go back to the old behavior?
