Development build #200506142000 of NetBeans 4.2 Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0_03 build #06 Description: ============ Abbreviations that are completed using code completion do not remove shortcut characters. Steps to reproduce: =================== 1. Create new sample web application. 2. Type cfgi| in index.jsp and press CTRL+Space. 3. It will get expanded to cfgiconfig.getInitParameter(" and you must remove leading "cfgi" manually.
It is still not clear whether the abbreviations CC provider will be present in the release since we will likely have live templates in CC for 4.2
Increasing priority to stress importance of the issue compared to other defects.
I have removed the abbreviations completion provider so the abbrevs are not present in the CC. It was rather a testing impl. moreover I realized not useful at all. There will be a code templates completion provider in nb.next which can also encapsulate editor abbreviations. I am switching this issue to an enhancement.
