I guess I’m a quick typer because if I type the characters

ArrayList myArray;
myArray.size(

NetBeans auto complete puts the following in my editor

ArrayList myArray;
myArray.add(someVar);

Why? Because the auto completion doesn’t have time to find and filter all the method names by the time I type ‘(‘. So it takes the the first one from the list it has created and filtered so far: “add”. Grrrr!!!

I want to keep method name completion, but I don’t want it to happen on ‘(‘. I haven’t been able to find out how to fine tune this awesome feature to stop it from mangling my code.

    I cannot reproduce you problem in NetBeans 7.1.2. Maybe I’m not typing fast enough…

    Take a look at the Options to switch off some of the code completion options: Tools->Options, select the Editor section, then the Code Completion tab.
