Bug? intellisense (auto-complete) not working on multi-statement lines

[Dave O]

If I have multiple statements per line (i.e. using the colon to separate them), anything after the first colon doesn't get the auto-complete (Intellisense) treatment.

If I split the statements onto multiple lines, auto-complete starts working again.

Using B4A 5.02.

Thanks!

Is this a Dim line?

No, it's for any line that includes a colon between statements. I noticed it first in Select statements like this:

Select currentSize
  Case DRAW_SIZE1 : size1Button.Checked = True
  Case DRAW_SIZE2 : size2Button.Checked = True
  Case DRAW_SIZE3 : size3Button.Checked = True
End Select

...but I've tried all kinds of variations and it's the same for any multi-statement line using a colon to separate the statements.

Hi

Was this ever acknowledged as a bug?

I'm using 5.5 and the issue still exists.

In the first picture the menu is produced as soon as the '.' is typed:

In the second picture, when the '.' is typed no menu appears:

It is a known bug (or limitation).
