A few questions and a thought:
1) What type of JSP directives precede the problematic line you are entering? Feel free to post the header portion of the problematic JSP.
2) What OS are you using?
3) Is there any other context info that you can provide to help me isolate this behavior?
I’m not aware of any completion performance issues with the basic ‘<‘ open tag in 2.5.x or 2.6.x. In fact I entered the same code you present in a sample JSP for 2.6.1 without issue.
The 2.6.1 release is a maintenance release to cover an internal issue caused by the JSP editor’s packaged taglibs support that impacted general XML processing. My understanding is that 2.6.1 resolves this issue by temporarily disabling packaged taglibs support. The QA team has 2.6.2 and is testing the packaged taglib support among other JSP things.
