Version: 3.7.0
Build id: I20110127-2034

<project>
    <property name="xml" value="/use/xml"/>
    <property name="html" value="/use/html"/>

    <apitooling.apiuse_reportconversion
      xmlfiles="$"
      debug="true"
    />
</project>

If you create a new build file for the given snippet and activate content assist after the '$' on the  xmlfiles="$" line you will see all of the properties currently available to the build file as proposals [OK]

If you then remove the leading spaces like the following:

<project>
    <property name="xml" value="/use/xml"/>
    <property name="html" value="/use/html"/>

<apitooling.apiuse_reportconversion
xmlfiles="$"
debug="true"
/>
</project>

and activate content assist in the same location mentioned above (the '$') you will not get any proposals AND you get a weird message on the status bar about 'no task proposals available'

The problem is in AntEditorCompletionProcessor#determineProposalMode. There is some funky logic in there looking for '<', '>' and ' ' and how they are related, which fails when the formatting is removed.
