Code assist window of ctrl+shift+space before trying to resize it.

Seems the bugs 12238 and 23980 were either not fixed completely or the bug re-occurred in current Eclipse Luna:

When I write the following code

Integer.compare(o1.getPriority(), o2.<<<CURSOR>>>getPriority())

... then put the keyboard cursor at the location named "<<<CURSOR>>>" and finally press Ctrl+Shift+Space (*not* Ctrl+Space), a window pops up showing me the possible overloaded "compare(...)" methods with all their arguments (in contrast to Ctrl+Space, which would list the methods of "o2").

This window is too small. If I try to resize it (by grabbing its lower right corner), it disappears and the next time, it is even smaller (actually *UNUSABLE* - there is nothing visible but the scroll bars). I have no chance to ever make this window usable again (in the same workspace).

I'll attach 2 screenshots showing the popup.

Btw. I'm using Kubuntu 14.10 with the OpenJDK 8.

Btw. there is a 2nd bug visible in the first screenshot: The same method is listed twice - there is only one compare(...) method!

Just one more note: I wrote "This window is too small" even though in the first screenshot, it looks OK. Well, 1st it seems to me the initial size is somehow arbitrary and very often it is far too small (especially given my huge monitors) and the sometimes many available overloaded methods.

Additionally, the window shrinks!!! It gets smaller every time Ctrl+Shift+Space is pressed. After about 5 times, it has 1/4 of the initial size!

And as soon as I try to resize it once, it disappears and the next time it occurs, is too small to be used at all (see 2nd screenshot).

Works fine for me, but I'm not on the same OS. Moving to SWT for investigation.

Please tell us whether 4.5 M6:

works. Thanks.
