Description Johannes Dorn CLA 2014-05-14 05:32:33 EDT 
The content assist proposals popup view, implemented in CompletionProposalPopup, fires a selection changed event via ContentAssist each time a proposal is selected by keyboard.

The path for this is

  verifyKey()
  ->selectProposal()
    ->fireSelectionEvent()
      ->fContentAssistant.fireSelectionEvent()

When selecting a proposal by clicking on it with the mouse, no selection event is fired. There is no listener for mouse events in CompletionProposalPopup.

This presents us with an issue at the Code Recommenders project (Bug 429049), since we want to react to selection changes regardless of whether proposals were selected by keyboard or mouse.
