Auto-completion doesn't work in templates in Eclipse with the ABAP Development Tools - Plugin

Hello!

Let's say you are in a middle of a report that knows already that you work with an internal table lt_internal_table.

Let's say you want to loop at lt_internal_table.

Starting to write

loop at lt_in

the auto-completion will suggest immediately "lt_internal_table".

Not so if you use the existing template for the loop-statement, loopAtAssigning:

 loop at *table* assigning *fldsym*.  
**
endloop.

(the ** shows where the cursor will spring).

So the cursor blink on "table" - just the right spot!

BUT: starting to write "lt_in" DOESN'T bring the auto-completion any more, so you (and me and all... everybody hurts! ;-) are damned to write the whole name (like an animal ;-).

This works like this not only in the loop-template but in every template, self-generated or not.

Why this?

And more important: Do you have a workaround?

Thanks!
