VS2019
C#
When I type var name and suggestion list appears then if I type "." a first suggestion is committed but I expect a member list to appear
The docs says there is a list of committing chars in the VS settings but I cant find that
It's definitely VA issue cause it disappears if I turn off VA completely |

I am not really following what you are typing. For the very simple C# code:
var name = "hello world";
var nameLong = "Another hello world";
name|
where | is the caret, when I have just typed "name" I have a listbox open, since I might want "name" or "nameLong" or something else. If I type a dot at this point the listbox is being accepted, but that is reasonable since I have typed a full variable name.
If I disable VA via:
VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X
and retype the "name" line and again type the dot, I get the same behaviour.
Can you please explain what you are doing, and what you are expecting to happen? |

Ive captched a video with the issue, take a look https://youtu.be/sbcHMjCLv7M
So I type 'i' then '.' and expect to get 'i.' along with the dropdown with list of members
instead I get 'int.'
and I meant it happens with any variable not only with the ones declared as 'var' |

OK, so you are writing a C# lambda expression inside the Find function on a List.
Testing the same thing here, I don't get this problem even with VA active.
If you escape the listbox and type the code, does VA show the variable "i" in bold? This assumes you have:
VA Options -> Coloring and Attributes -> Show local symbols in bold
turned On. I am trying to work out if VA understands what is going on here, or if it is confused in this code.
There is a list of characters for committing a listbox, but its a C++ setting, not a C# setting. But it does look like a setting is having an effect.
Can you please export your VA and IDE settings and send them to me:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
I can then import them here and see if I can reproduce the problem. Please send me the files via email:
[email protected]
including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

Apologies, I wasn't clear enough. I was talking about symbols in the editor, in your code, being shown in bold.
I have your settings, thank you for these. Turning on:
VA Options -> Coloring and Attributes -> Show local symbols in bold
"i" in my test code isn't shown in bold, but I haven't yet worked out why. It is being shown in bold with my normal settings. I am looking into this.
A temporary solution is to turn Off:
VA Options -> Suggestions -> Enable Suggestion Lists |

This is actually being caused by:
case=88596
VA does not understand the parameter you are creating at the start of the Lambda / Linq statement, so it does not know to suggest it. In my test case there was already a variable called "i" so VA knew to suggest "i" in this case, so I wasn't seeing the problem. |
