A recent update to VS has seen autocomplete for some content fail. Repeating my post on the VS support forum…
Prior to the recent update, Autocomplete would allow me to type
col = GetCo()
and it would autocorrect to
col = GetComponent()
However, now it just takes the text as it is. While typing, the Intellisense suggestions are shown, the intended method GetComponent is highlighted with a star, and I can press Down-Arrow to select the GetComponent<> shortcut, but this change in behaviour is unwanted. Most other autocomplete appears to be working. eg. Typing “Tra ” autocompletes to “Transform”
VS technical support has asked for more info like if it fails in other non-Unity contexts, of which I have no experience.
Is anyone else having autocomplete issues? If not, it’s likely on my install. Otherwise, tech thread here:
