In the XSLT Source Editor, when the highlighted "no suggestions" appears, it persists longer than it should. If I type additional characters and even carriage returns/new lines, the "no suggestions" remains on screen. I would expect it to disappear with the next keystroke, unless invoked manually and no suggestions are present. The highlighted "no suggestions" does disappear if I click on, or move (via arrow keys) to, a different line, or if I bring up another window over NetBeans on the Desktop.
This problem occurs more consistently when the "no suggestions" appears after the ctrl+space trigger is used.
XSLT Editor: a code completion text "No suggestions" will be hidden if the key "Up/Down Arrow" is pressed and a caret moved to another XSLT tag in the previous/next line. But if sometimes a code completion text "No suggestions" is still displayed when keys "Left/Right Arrow" or "Enter" are pressed, this behaviour is correct because this behaviour of code completion box is implemented in several different editors, included in NetBeans. For example (see notes for different editors below), if a caret is placed in a position, marked by the character "^" and hot key "Ctrl+Space" is pressed, a code completion text "No suggestions" will appear and it will be displayed if keys "Enter" and "Left/Right Arrow" are pressed: Java Editor (the position is after the last quotation mark and before the semicolon) private static final String PROCESS = "process"; ^ Bpel Editor (the position is after the first character ">" and before the last character "<", i.e. somewhere inside <from> ... </from>) <from>$inputVar.inputType/ns2:paramA</from> ^ XSLT Editor (the position is inside the word "name") <xsl:with-param name=""/> ^
This is a usability issue. I would expect the "no suggestions" to disappear with the next keystroke unless the suggestions list is invoked again and no suggestions are available. As suggested, I checked the Java source editor. I tried the example (private static final String PROCESS = "process";) and the "no suggestions" disappeared when the left/right arrow key or Enter was pressed, as expected. I would expect the XSLT Service source editor to behave the same way. Re-opening this ticket, but reducing the priority to P4.
