Description Randy Hudson

When invoking the quick fix to rename a class name or variable, the selection is
no longer set to the thing being renamed, forcing you then double click or
select the term being renamed.

This sounds more like a JDT Text issue

This is an intentional change: we no longer override the users current selection.

If the current selection has no length, then how is it useful to NOT select the 
item being renamed?

Well, at least it's good to know that things are intentionally harder to use.

That's what we try every day. Just tell us what else is needed ;-)

Have: f<caret>Case, start rename to add "Test": type "Test" and it's done
Have: fTyy<caret>po, start rename to fix typo: one backspace and it's done

Previously you had to revert the selection that had been forced on you.
