Correct list

As you can see it in the sample code in the correct.png, the code completion list is correct when I type "blau.". Only 2 options are visible, now when I type ctrl + space right after setting the dot and the code completion list came up, I see all relevant, but not correct entries as sub types for blau. This is really confusing and I have to figure out which is the right property for it.
Here it is ok because I can see it above but this is not a realistic example.


Regards,

Chris

Wrong list
Comment 2 Vladimir Riha 2014-06-10 06:18:48 UTC 
This is as designed. If you open code completion for the first time (in your case after you press the dot it comes automatically), it shows items that NetBeans were able to resolve. 

If you invoke code completion while it is already displayed (so you either press Ctrl+Space twice or in your case have code completion opened because of the dot and press Ctrl+Space), it shows "everything". This is because it is not always possible to resolve variable and all its properties and this lets you see "full" code completion. 

If you press Esc to hide code completion, you can again press Ctrl+Space once or twice to see either "partial" or "full" code completion.

ok thx.
Comment 4 Petr Pisl 2014-06-23 15:09:34 UTC 
I can just confirm what was written by Vlada.
Comment 5 Christian Lenz 2014-06-26 07:32:33 UTC 
I see an other problem. This is my source (only for example):

function test() {
    var baumWipfel = 0;

    if(true) {

    }
}

I type "b" inside if and I saw baumWipfel and break as suggestions. But when I type b and the list not appears exactly on keyup (maybe with a delay on a few ms), I type Ctrl + Space because I'm faster as the list I got the message: "No suggestion". You can see the behaviour in my little screencast (Code complete problem).

Chris

P.S. I reopened it, if it's not related to this, I will create a new one.

Yes please, file a new one, thank you. I've briefly tried it but cannot reproduce it. Should you have some public sample project where it happens, could you please attach it to the new issue as well? Thank you.
