Description

I've noticed that the usual code completion for "for* cycles" has gotten way dumber than the oracle powered version 8.2.

 

In 8.2 if you had code like this:

 

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String[] strings = {"1","2","3"};
    
{{  }}}

 

and you wrote "fore" then invoked code completion via shortcut it would generate the following block:

}}{{    for (String string : strings)
    {
      
{{    }}}

 

now in 11.1 but I've also tried with 9.0 and it's the same it generates:

}}{{    for (Object object : col)
    {
      
{{    }}}

 

not really that bad but definitely annoying compared to the previous version.
