the problems with code completion for templates are known and something we're 
working on in the master branch. Your particular problem sounds like an 
instance of http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-815
also check out http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-955 for an 
overview.
