The code completion in certain situations does not work as expected, nor as how it used to work in 5.5. Take for example the following code: * | character (pipe) denotes the cursor String s = new String(|) ^ In that situation, the line was typed up to the opening bracket (. The closing bracket ) was automatically inserted and the cursor | was between the brackets (). What is expected is that a code completion window would pop up, it does not. An error is underline on this line (due to lack of semicolon ;). After entering the semicolon, and then re-entering the brackets, no code completion comes up. Ctrl+Space lists a general code completion, not a parameter list. [See URL vid - 1MB] I've clawed through the options with no luck... i have 5.5, 6M9 and 6M10 on this machine installed, and it only works in 5.5

-- found the source of my issue, I hadn't realized the process had changed (press CTRL+Space before opening bracket), and CTRL+P for parameter list. I like this process, however I think the code completion should automatically show when the cursor is idle for 300~600ms in such a situation. -- See thread http://www.nabble.com/Code-completion-does-not-work-as-expected-tf4031284.html#a11504117
