Description Jiri Kovalsky 2006-04-07 12:35:07 UTC 
Development build #200604070200 of NetBeans 5.5 with new XML editor completion API
Windows XP, JDK 1.5.0_05 build #05

Description:
============
New code completion API does not perform instant substitution if suggestions are
reduced to single item.

Steps to reproduce:
===================
1. Create new sample web application project.
2. Create new XML file in this project.
3. Type '<' char after <root> at line 11.
4. Type '/' char and the statement should immediatelly be completed to <root></root>
Comment 1 Marek Fukala 2006-05-31 10:41:14 UTC 
Not so big problem since at least the CC with the end tag is opened.
Comment 2 Marek Fukala 2006-08-09 15:05:45 UTC 
The described behaviour is correct. The instant substitution works only when
user invokes the CC explicitly by pressing Ctrl+space, not when the CC is opened
when user types a completion 'hotchar' (e.g. < for XML). If you do not like this
behaviour you have to fill an issue against the completion infrastructure.
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2006-08-15 09:30:25 UTC 
Okay, I thought this works in Java editor but does not either. Verifying as
invalid issue.
