Description Jesse Glick 2005-08-05 23:12:53 UTC 
In the new 4.2 code completion, there is no apparent way to see Javadoc for
constructors. If you have

  new Foo()

and place caret here "new Foo|()" you get class Javadoc. Inside here "new
Foo(|)" you get general Javadoc for any existing class, fields in this class,
etc. In NB 4.1 the former would give class Javadoc, the latter Javadoc for the
appropriate constructor.

Relation to issue #60362?
Comment 2 Martin Roskanin 2005-09-20 08:12:23 UTC 
Yes, thanks Jesse.
The issue is already fixed, thanks for your report. Please check the latest dev
build and reopen if the problem persists. Thanks.

Verified in dev build #200509210657. Javadoc correctly appears for:
 -constructor type on the top when typed Ctrl+Space while Foo(|)
 -foo class when typed Ctrl+Space while Foo|()
