Description markiewb 2012-09-22 08:47:52 UTC

[ BUILD # : 201209210001 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.35 ]

Create a new java application using the wizards. Let also generate the main 
method.

Within the main-method type "fore". Press ESC to ignore opening 
autocomplete popups (the completion popup can appear depending on 
your autocomplete configuration).

Now invoke the action "Edit/Expand Template" from the Menubar.

ACTUAL: After invoking the action the execution seems to run in an endless 
loop. The dialog "lengthly operation in progress" appears. When the dialog 
is canceled then the "expand template" is finished and you can continue 
filling in the template variables. 

It is awkward because expanding the same abbreviation via TAB is as fast 
as in previous NB versions.

Seems like a bug in the 'Code Template Tools' plugin.
