[scala-tools] Code completion doesn't pop up?

[jlist9]

Hi,

If I have code

val s = "a"
s.

After typing the dot, the code completion menu doesn't pop up. I have to press
Ctrl+Space for it to pop up. Is this by design or a bug?

Also, I often see pink wave underlines in code. When the mouse hovers over it,
a blank details window shows up. I wonder what these pink underlines are for?

Thanks

There are three IDEs with Scala support. I use IDEA and don't recognize
the precise behavior you describe, so I suppose it's something else,
but you should say which editor you're using.

Agree, the question is funny! :-) Probably it is good idea to add [netbeans]
or [eclipse] or [idea] to message subject.

This is Eclipse 2.7.x? Yes you have to hit ctrl+space.

They're there to confuse you. Ignore them. They're gone in 2.8.

Cheers,
