Typing text will remove next variable #100

When you have for example if (object.var) and you want to type newobject. before the object, it will remove "object" text.

The part it's about to replace turns yellow when you do this right?

I think this is controlled by Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist Insertion option Completion inserts versus Completion Overwrites.

Which setting do you have and have you tried the other setting?

Yes it turns yellow. I had overwrites option. The other one works perfect I think, thank you! ❤️

Yes, I'm not a big fan of the writing behavior.
