Description

easily reproducible (on Mac anyway).

In any java class, inside method body type this:

OutputStream os = new ByteArra

then press Ctrl-Space, press down-cursor to go to java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream constructor., press Enter.

Instead of completing as requestedor offering user input to choose what to actually put there, NB11 deletes the new ByteArra.

The only way to get it to actually complete is mouse-click.

Super-long time NB user here - grew accustomed to a pleasurable dev experience, and loss of this functionality is so taxing it's worth just using Eclipse at this point.

Looking forward to a fix
