I am using Eclipse 3.0 M1 build on Window 2000.
I notice the cursor in the editor is now become"[" instead of "I" or "|"

Is there a reason for this change?

Thank you.

Thanks.

Does this related to the "Completion inserts" and "Completion overwrites" in
Java->Editor->Code Assist?

And can I switch that dynamically? i.e. sometime I want the completion to be
inserted, sometimes I want the completion to be overwritten?

No.

You can: set the radio button to "completion inserts". When you want to
overwrite, hold down Ctrl before choosing a selection from the completion
proposals; the background of the text to be overwritten will be highlighted
in yellow. This doesn't work if there is only one completion, which will get
inserted automatically :-(

assist : "Insert single proposals automatically". Unchecking might
do what you want.
