Build 20050323
Linux-GTK

When you do a code assist immediately after doing an operation that adds an
import, the pop-up appears and then quickly dismisses itself. A reproducible
test case I found is:

1. Make sure you don't have "org.eclipse.swt.Display" currently in your list of
imports.
2. Code assist on the word "Display" to add the import automatically.
3. Type "." and press ctrl+space again to view the list of methods
(getCurrent(), getDefault(), etc.).
4. The pop-up disappears about 1/2 second after it appeared.

The key thing here is that the first code-assist has to add an import. If the
import is already there, things will work correctly.

Tom, please check for M6 whether this is a regression by latest changes. If so,
please fix.

Cannot reproduce.

Could it be that your manual invocation of code assist interferes with the
automatic popup you might get after typing the dot? I.e. do you have
Java>Editor>Code Assist>Auto Activation turned on?

Jared, what GTK version are you using?

removing milestone as I can't reproduce.

Just tested again and I can't reproduce the problem on the 20050324 build. So
either it was fixed between the 23rd and 24th (unlikely?) or there are more
variables involved than I realized.

All I notice now is that the text ("Display.") flashes about a half-second after
I bring up the code assist now. The timing looks the same as the dismissal;
could the source of this flashing have been causing the dialog to go away?

I'm seeing this bug again in recent builds. There's definitely something here.

My guess is that the auto-activated code assist and the manually invoked one interfered. The interaction with auto-activation has been fixed for 3.2 to correct the cylcling mode assist. I cannot reproduce, Jared, please reopen if you still see this with 3.2.

Marking as works for me.
