Description tak3shi 2006-12-04 13:44:26 UTC 
Type String.val and press the '(' Character.
this completes to "String.valueOf(". This is a nice undocumented feature but
when i use code completion on my own custom classes the code completion window
responsiveness is very slow and pressing '(' picks the selected Item that does
not match anymore to the typed word. 

The responsiveness is so slow that i can type cmd.getPage( and it gets replaced
by cmd.addSubCommand(. Since i type fast with all my 10 fingers, this happens
many times.

Before taking the selection from the code completion the selection window should
be first updated to the typed word. (This also happens when you type fast and
press Enter).

Reorganization of java component

This issue is not valid in current builds any more. Java support was completely
redesigned in 6.0 time frame. Please use NetBeans 6.0 and later.
