Description Avner Linder

All forms of Code Assist are disabled when the file is read-only.
This prevents investigating existing code without checking it out from source 
control systems.

The desired behaviour should be - 

1. User activated Code Assist (Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+Space+Shift etc)
2. A list of possible complitions / parameters is shown
3. If the user presses Enter -
3.1 If the file is read-only
3.1.2 If a source contorl system is used - offer to check the file out
3.2 If the file is writeable - continue normally with Code Assist completion

Not an accessibility problem as it is no different for people with 
disabilities.

Moving to later for future investigation.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
