See attached screen shot the options available as completions of this.s are static String switch ( synchronized System.err.println(""); System.out.println(""); stateChanged() only the last one is a usable completion of "this.s" - everything else will be uncompilable. There is enough information to detect this situation and avoid template completions - either check for the . as the previous token, or get the text back to the nearest preceding whitespace character, and only include templates that are exact matches. This does deserve to be P2 - it removes most of the value of code completion if you have to hit the down arrow 6 times to skip invalid completions.
