Summary:

Currently in Xcode (4.5) autocomplete becomes mostly useless beyond the first parameter. For example, let's say I want to autocomplete this delegate method:

-[UITableViewDataSource tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:]

In my class I begin typing:

"-tableView"

I get a huge result list and I'd like to narrow it down further to methods that have a second parameter that starts with "cell". I try this:

"-tableView:cell"

But the autocomplete list disappears and even hitting Escape doesn't bring up any results.

It does work if I include the entire type and name of the first parameter:

"-tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cell"

But having to type all of that kind of defeats the purpose of autocomplete.

Steps to Reproduce:

Type "-tableView:cell"

Expected Results:

Autocomplete list would show methods whose first parameter is "tableView" and whose second parameter begins with "cell".

Actual Results:

No results are returned

Regression:
