Description
I noticed this issue when updating from 2020-06 to 2024-06
In Eclipse 2020-06, typing ``sysout`` and pressing Ctrl + Enter autocompletes it to ``System.out.println()``, when "Insert single proposals automatically" is enabled. In 2024-06, it doesn't autocomplete and the option has no effect.
The option:

Eclipse 2020-06: After turning on the option, it autocompletes

Eclipse 2024-06: It just opens the menu

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Eclipse 2024-06 with "Insert single proposals automatically" enabled, typing `sysout`, and pressing Ctrl+Enter; compare the result with Eclipse 2020-06. Trace the content-assist path responsible for this preference. Done means the single `System.out.println()` proposal is inserted automatically again.
