This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When the code completion popup window is too narrow to display both the variable/method name (and parameter list) and its (return) type on one line, then the name is abbreviated rather than the type. (See Issue 11234 for an example.) This should be the other way round. The name (and parameter list) are always more important than the (return) type.
See also issue #112340.
