Description gyszalai 2006-10-12 13:51:53 UTC 
When I press CTRL-SPACE on an existing method call (eg. getSomething()) and
select another method from the pop-up list, the editor inserts the name of the
method instead of overwriting the old one, so for example if the cursor is after
'getSo' I get this: getSogetOther()mething(). It is really annoying. At least it
sould be configurable to overwrite or insert.

This is already implemented - just press ctrl+enter when confirming the choice from code completion list...
