Description

See: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/issues/2260

We want to keep the content assist popup open, despite having no matches. E.g. the user made a typo, we want to keep the content assist open despite of that.

The Java content assist has some problems with that, see: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/pull/2261#issuecomment-2343105494

Research direction

Start with the linked eclipse.platform.ui issue and the Java content assist problems discussed in the linked pull request comment. Done means the content assist popup remains open when there are no matches, including after a typo, without introducing the noted Java content assist problems.
