v 3.2

if I have the following:

out.append(var.getText());

I want to change getText() to getType(). So I double click on getText, type gett and press CTRL-SPACE. getType() is shown. I press enter to select it.
What I get is:

out.append(var.getType()());

code assist inserted an extra ()

This did not happen in 3.1. I have tried to find out where to turn this off with no luck.

In Preferences, Java > Editor > Content Assist there is an option to
have "Completion overwrite" instead of "Completion inserts."

Yup. Have had that set for a long time (to Completion inserts).

3.1 did not insert the two braces.

3.2 does

3.1 only inserted the two braces if they did not already exist.

You may also set the insertion point after getT, press CTRL-SPACE,
select getType and use CTRL-ENTER.

OK, that works, except when there is only one suggestion. Then it is automatically inserted with the ().

Yes, I know I can turn this off.

I guess I need to file a bug report. Done: bug #159113
