Description Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2010-09-20 06:06:05 EDT 
Entering "RuleName:" will automatically insert the closing ";". 
Completing the rule with (| == cursor position)
RuleName: name=ID|; 
and pressing enter will lead to
RuleName: name=ID
;;

=========

RuleName:|
  name=ID
;

Enter leads to

RuleName:
    |
;
  name=ID
;

=========
RuleName:
  ('[' value=ID)|
  (value2=ID ']')
;

Enter leads to
RuleName:
  ('[' value=ID)
    |
  (value2=ID ']')
;
Comment 1 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2010-09-20 06:09:06 EDT 
Set severity to major as editing a grammar is hard.

Another quirk (>< indicates the selection:

RuleName:
  (>'<[' value=ID)
;

Entering double quotes leads to

RuleName:
  ("|"[' value=ID)
;

Expected:
RuleName:
  ("[' value=ID)
;

Removing the superflous doublequote and selecting the second singlequote to replace it by a double quote leads to:

RuleName:
  ("["|" value=ID)
;

which is unexpected as well.
Comment 2 Sebastian Zarnekow CLA 2010-09-20 07:38:47 EDT 
Another issue (again | == cursor position):

RuleName:
  (
  |'a' 'b' &
  'c' 'd'
  )
;

Typing ( should only insert an opening brace.
