N20100620-2000 Content assist in the Variables view uses a wrong context. I had a breakpoint on the last line of org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractInformationControlManager.computeAvailableArea(Rectangle, Rectangle, Anchor). I selected the local variable 'area' of type 'Rectangle' in the Variables view. In the details pane, I wanted to write "Geometry.copy(bounds)" and save that into 'area'. The expression is perfectly valid and it worked, but content assist didn't have any proposals after "Geo" nor after "Geometry.co". Looks like you use the context of the selected variable's type (SWT), but you should use the context of the selected stack frame's type (org.eclipse.jface.text, which depends on JFace, which defines the class Geometry). Or maybe both contexts, I don't know what exactly the expression evaluation engine supports.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
