anthonyvdotbe opened a new issue, #5130:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5130
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 16
### What happened
Consider the following code:
```java
class Bar {
static void bar() {
class Foo { static void foo() {} }
// cursor here
}
}
```
Now type `Foo`. At this point NetBeans provides suggestions:
Then type a dot. Now NetBeans autocompletes `Foo.` to `ForLoopTree.` and
gives suggestions for it.
What I expected to happen, is for NetBeans to just add the dot, and give
suggestions for the class `Foo` defined in the line above:
In other words: when what's before the dot is valid in the current context,
typing a dot should never (unless there's sensible exceptions I'm missing)
autocomplete. When I want to autocomplete to a type, I can easily press Tab or
Enter to autocomplete first, and then type the dot.
### How to reproduce
