Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior while Java methods are folded and autocomplete is opened during editing. Trace whether autocomplete triggers method unfolding or an editor scroll change; done means the folded methods stay folded and the view remains at the editing location.

Description

ai-triaged area/jdtls bug needs-investigation

In general I fold all the methods in my classes, then when I try to add a new method and start writing, the autocomplete appears and the rest of the methods get unfolded and the editor scrolls up randomly, so I lose the line where I was adding code. The cursor is still there so I press the keyboard arrows and the editor scrolls back again to the place I was editing, but this behavior is annoying.

Any solution?
