I think I found out why this is happening.
2 things need to be set in order for this 'feature' to work.
1.Link your left navigation w/your editor.
**.There is a button to sync up your project view and your editor. When you hover over it, it will say (Link Open Editor with Contents in Navigator)
2.Expand your left navigation to be down to the method level.
If both of those things are on .. AND you change your method name Eclipse will automatically try to jump to the method. Eclipse is thinking you just changed methods and it needs to navigate to it. And of course when it navigates to it, it highlights the method. Thus, you type a method name, pause (eclipse tries to navigate to the new method) and you continue typing your method name. When you continue, the highlighted method part of you method gets wiped out.
If there is a feature to prevent Eclipse from highlighting the method when it navigate to it, (and just put the cursor at the beginning of the method name) that would be great and probably fix the issue.
Anyone know of a way to do this?
