Geertjan,

Don't take it personally. It's like everything in this world, if something
causes you problems you have two options:

   1. Live with it
   2. Try to find a solution.

I've been living with it for a number of years (I've used NetBeans since
version 6.something) and I haven't found a definitive fix for this in
NetBeans. Though, I did do a video on Code Completion in NetBeans in 2018 -
https://youtu.be/V0ooRAR3Uxk.

It has, recently, become more intrusive and much more of a problem, so I
now need to look at other solutions as I'm spending too much time deleting
"auto-filled suggestions".

I know that NetBeans has been positioning itself as the Java IDE and that's
where the money is for Apache. This means those of us using NetBeans for
other languages are out on a limb and need to find their own solutions. If
I had the time, I'd investigate it and try to fix it in NetBeans. At
present I just don't have the time.

Best regards,
John
