Summary: XML tag completion for closing tag should still offer completion after I press forward slash

Description rdelaplante 2009-07-08 16:20:25 UTC 
When editing XML I find that I type </ then wait for completion, and it always tells me that it has no suggestion. 
Today I realized that if I do not put the forward slash then it will offer suggestions.  Please make it offer completion
after I press the forward slash.

Marku, isn't this rather a defect?

If I create a new text.xml file, paste the following code, set caret at position 2:18 a press Ctrl+Space, Editor
displays "No suggestions".

I would appreciate your comment on this. Thanks.

Yes, I would say the CC should offer the end tag after both < and </. But I do not work on the XML support for few years ;-)

WFM, CC is shown even if I put some whitespace after </ closing tag start sequence
