Why in the world would you guys make auto-insert something that cant be disabled?

take for example...

i will be writing code like so:

public myClass(int arg1)
{
this.arg1 = arg1
}

then i will realize that i want to add an argument, like so:

public myClass(int arg1, int // i DO NOT want it to automatically insert "Integer"
// when i put a space after the "t" in "int"
{
......

now... i like the code -SUGGESTIONS- i do not however like the fact that hitting spacebar (which i cannot avoid doing) will automagically insert what is at the top of the list when i in no way was trying to use what it suggested.

now i HEARD that disabling "insert single proposals automatically" should fix this... for some reason it does not

am i missing something or is this just something that has been overlooked...

again i love the code suggestions with the ability to insert something if i want to... but i am REQUIRED to hit spacebar in the process of coding... if i might be so bold as to say: what is the point in having cake if you cant eat it too?

Konner,

I don't see anything like the behavior you describe. Is there something
odd about the settings you have grouped under Enable auto activation,
like maybe you put a space character in there as an enabler?
