This somehow feels like a feature but really?
when you have a call like:
method(

if your cursor is before the "(" then completion works
if it's after, it doesn't
I mean, it shows proposals but pressing Enter on any of them will not "paste" them in the code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
you can get this code:
package org.weird;


public class Silly
{
	@SuppressWarnings( "unused" )
	public Silly(int a, long b, Object c, String d){
	}
	
	@SuppressWarnings( "unused" )
	public Silly(long x, Object y) {
	}
	
	
	public void another() {
//		Silly s=new Silly
		foo
	}
	
	@SuppressWarnings( "unused" )
	public void foo(int a, long b, Object c, String d){
	}
	@SuppressWarnings( "unused" )
	public void foo(long z, Object x){
	}
}

====
1. and move cursor after the "foo" in the method another()
2. append an open parenthesis aka "(" then press Ctrl+Space and choose any of the two proposals, none does completion. If you found that a closed parenthesis was added aka ")" you can delete it, and retry => same thing, nothing gets completed.

to see when this works then replace step 2 with:
2. press Ctrl+Space to engage code completion, there should be 2 proposals, choose any, it works.

I kinda remember this working in previous eclipses ie. helios, because I found it odd when it didn't work...
