I have been using eclipse for many months without any issues now. Today I fired it up and continued working on my project. Whenever I type the "." in SomeClass." it immediately goes unresponsive and the only way to close it is to kill it using the taks manager. I tried reinstalling the program but that didnt help. Im using eclipse 2020-06 with java. Can someone please help me? Also I don't know how to debug eclipse and find the crash logs and stuff like that so if you need anything please tell me where I can find it. Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Im not sure what changed but it doesnt crash immediately anymore. If I hit ctrl+space though it says computing proposals for a while and then gives me this error:

A period just on its own, or directly following a symbol like `SomeClass.`? – Carcigenicate Aug 19 '20 at 18:18
Do you get the same behavior if you use Ctrl-Space to autocomplete? – Fred Larson Aug 19 '20 at 18:24
It doesnt seem to happen inside strings and numbers – Hendrik Hübner Aug 19 '20 at 18:25

I fixed the problem by restoring my autocomplete settings to default. I dont know hwat happened to them in the first place – Hendrik Hübner Aug 21 '20 at 23:53
