Hello All! I am working in Eclipse with Java and XML doing Android app development. The above quoted text is the exact same issue I'm having. Unfortunately this was posted in a forum January of 2011 and received no replies which makes me wonder if this issue is a bug that hadn't been fixed. I have tried using Eclipse 3.6.2, 3.7.2, SR2, and as also said above, I have disabled all options related to auto completion or content assist, in every platform listed in Eclipse, Java, XML, etc... I have spent about two days messing with all manner of settings and researching online how to solve this problem. The general advice in other forums, with the same problem, not just XML, is almost always to go "Window->preferences->[platform]->Editor->Content Assist (and/or) Typing" and disable the relevant options. Half the people claim it fixes their problem.. the other half claim it does not.. I happen to be in the "does not" crowd as everything I've tried has no effect.. even after shutting down and restarting Eclipse, the content assist and code completion options are all still disabled yet it continues to happen. I'm starting to get desperate as this is really cramping my coding style.. Is this a bug? Or am I just missing something? Thank you!
