Even after bug 483511, I see still cases where substring completions are shown before prefix completions. See attachment for examples.

Probably a issue with proposals from different providers. In the examples, affected proposals are from type history and template proposals.

Attached screenshot reports four issues. 

Two issues - 'Try18' and 'main(..)' - will be fixed by bug 488441.

Other two issues related to template proposals are fixed in the Gerrit patch.

Reducing the relevance of substring proposals by a value of 400 seems to work fine for all the issues reported in this bug and bug 483511.
