Description Robert Jonsson 2003-07-09 14:57:47 UTC 
Version:           3.0.0a5 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 (Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3-2mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-0.13mdk

Depending on if I press alt-space -[here]> or ->[here] the selection box shows different result. The latter shows the correct result.

Hmm.. if you press ctrl-space (or in your case, apparently alt-space) without any 
context, you will get a list of all available types.  
 
What is happening here is probably that the parser doesn't think that you have 
a (unambiguous) context, and hence decided give you all that is available. ( after 
all, "a-" can become both "a->f" and "a-b" ) 
 
Not being the parser author, I don't know if it is reasonable to attempt to decide 
from the type of "a" (in my example) what you are about to write. 
 
I suspect this is a WONTFIX.

I agree with Jens
