Description fahua jin CLA 2011-09-06 21:37:04 EDT 
Build Identifier: 0.7.0.v201109061723

If user type '.' in the string, then the content assistant is displayed.

For example, I have below string assignment.

aa string = "test";

Now if I type "." in the any place of "test", it will prompt the content assistant.

Reproducible: Always

It's a enhancement. RBD also work like this.
Comment 2 fahua jin CLA 2011-09-06 21:45:55 EDT 
Which RBD do you use? I tested in 8012, RBD does not prompt content assistant in such case.
Comment 3 Justin Spadea CLA 2011-09-07 10:14:35 EDT 
I don't think this is an enhancement we want. A string literal will rarely (if ever) be containing EGL code so why provide content assist inside it? The 99% case is the period will be used to end a sentence. Content assist would just get in the way of typing sentences and become annoying to the user. The Java editor doesn't trigger content assist after a period inside string literals, even if I press Ctrl+space.
