Win2k sp1, jdk 1.3.1_02, build #607:

I noticed that typing SPACE auto-completes tags in XML.  Is this the
intended behavior?  I find it non-intuitive (preferring TAB instead) and
frustrating when I want to add attributes to the tag.

E.g., for this simple XML file (test.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
|
</body>
</html>

When I type a "<" in between the body tags, I get a pop-up of all the valid
tags (this new behavior in 607 is GREAT, thanks!).  Say i want to add a
table (with some attributes such as cellpadding and cellspacing), so i
continue typing "table" and then a SPACE.  Well, as soon as I type the
space, IDEA auto-completes the tag and I get:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml1-20000126/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<table>
   |
</table>
</body>
</html>

Can auto-complete please be delayed until I hit TAB or type the closing ">",
or is this an unfortunate side-effect of SPACE being the selection key in
Swing?  Thanks,

chris
