Description William Leonard 2007-10-31 16:04:00 UTC 
For example, I start typing:

<target na

and the IDE shows "no suggestions". (see attached image). Only if I hit esc then control+space does the code complete
properly.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2007-10-31 17:41:52 UTC 
Working for me. JDK 6u2, Ubuntu, 071029. Create Anagram Game sample. Open build.xml. Go to last line before <project>
and type

    <target na

and press Ctrl-Space. I get

    <target name=""

If you can reproduce please run with

  -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.ant.grammar.level=0

I get

I can easily reproduce. This time it worked the first time, but not the 2nd. java version "1.5.0_07", Mac OS X 10.4:

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2007-10-31 19:22:37 UTC 
Log shows ant/grammar module returning correct results when asked. Perhaps some problem in the XML editor infrastructure.
Comment 5 William Leonard 2008-03-03 21:05:43 UTC 
Some additional data here. The code completion works correct, that is until "no suggestions" appears, which I then need
to press esc to clear, which I'm doing constantly. For example, if you start typing:

<target

You'll get code completion until you type the final t, after which it will say "no suggestions". At this point "no
suggestions" stays visible until you press esc. Type name="some_name". Again, if you pause at the end of "some_name|",
"no suggestions" appears and remains until you press esc - on and on...
Comment 6 Jesse Glick 2008-03-03 21:13:05 UTC 
I think I see this sometimes too.
Comment 7 Quality Engineering 2009-12-21 06:31:23 UTC 
This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.


Thank you.
