Description
As part of my recent investigations on the auto activated completion proposal popup provided by "eclipse.platform.text" (e.g https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.text/pull/205), I have noticed, that since pop up is auto activated, templates with preconfigured options are not usable.
The reason is the pop up hides the proposed values of the template. Since the popup appears already after 50ms (even if there are no proposals computed yet), servers which are a bit slow sending responses really impairs usability of templated with preconfigured suggestions.

Research direction
Start by reproducing template completion in Eclipse with the auto-activated completion proposal popup and a slow server response. Read the lsp4e completion integration alongside the referenced eclipse.platform.text behavior; the issue is done when preconfigured template values remain usable despite the popup appearing before proposals are available.
