Description Wolfgang Bangerth 2011-05-27 03:49:36 UTC 
Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

As shown at the bottom of the "Adding new classes and member functions" section here:
  http://userbase.kde.org/KDevelop4/Manual/Working_with_source_code#Adding_new_classes_and_implementing_member_functions
and in this snapshot
  http://userbase.kde.org/File:Kdevelop-37.png
there is a problem with the auto-completion tooltip when starting to implement
a new member function: the same member function is listed twice. I don't think there is a difference between choosing either one of them in terms of what it expands to but the fact that you get the same entry twice in the list is a bit confusing.

On a side note, the tooltip doesn't work if there are more than one version of the same function (i.e. it is overloaded on the argument type), in which case the tooltip only offers one. Similarly, in that case, it would be useful if the tooltip showed the argument list to allow selecting the right one.

Best & thanks
 W.

Reproducible: Always

you probably mean this screenshot - right?

anyhow I cannot reproduce it as easily as you suggest - please attach the code to your example. This works for me:

class foo {
    void bar();
};

// now write "foo" and see that it will offer implementation of bar only once

Yes, sorry for the wrong link.

Hm, with 4.2.0, I get two entries bar(). I'll attach a picture in a second.
Was this fixed before 4.2.2?

Screenshot

Image with the two occurrences of the same function in auto-complete. Sorry for the icon on the return type of the function -- it's supposed to read "void" but 
is an artifact of taking a screen shot...
Comment 5 Wolfgang Bangerth 2011-05-28 02:21:41 UTC 
Trying this again, with the same code as shown in the screenshot, I find that the bug is fixed in 4.2.2. Closing.

Thanks
