Description vk011 2017-07-24 07:45:25 UTC 
Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.2 (Build 201705191307)
Operating System = Windows 10 version 10.0 running on amd64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0_131
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.131-b11

Reproducibility: Happens every time

STEPS:
  * Go to code completion window
  * under "all languages" check "auto popup completion window"
  * Under "javascript" click "customzie" and uncheck "After ."

ACTUAL:
  i want for all languages to have auto complete of all words, but let us take javascript as example now. After doing the above, if I am in a JS file, and i write "john" on one line and "john2" on another, and I start typing "jo" i do not get autocomplete popup unless I do "ctrl space".


EXPECTED:
  message pops up

Not sure what happened but now I rechecked "all possible situations" and now it is autosuggesting all words in the file as I am typing.

It didn't do this before so I do not know what i did exactly seems to be working as expected now.
Comment 2 vk011 2017-07-24 10:03:33 UTC 
Actually it works now for arbitrary words but it does not work with property names, called functions etc. I believe it should autosuggest all the words in the file, regardless of their type.
