Since this build I'm seriously having troubles with the global scope operator when typing new code.
As soon as I type ::, I am blocked for at 2-3 seconds until the completion list comes up which contains practically everything VAX knows.
This is unexceptable at least.

Also, VAX seems to have lost a good part of its suggestion abilities. I have lots of classes which start with TerminalState, but while adding new members to one of these classes, VAX practically never suggests the current class when I type "Term". That worked fine in previous versions.

Currently I type much more than with 1239.

You know, I have the bad habit (which I cannot shake) of typing ".." when I mean to type "//". I get the same completion list, although on my PC it's more like 8 or 9 seconds.

It would be nice if VAX could have these two things ("::" and "..") as special cases that didn't display the entire known universe...

It did not, until 1240.

I agree about ".." — I often type that by mistake too.

Actually, due to user requests we pass the :: off to the default intellisense so it can display the list. It can be quite slow the first time and a bit faster from then on.

Since VA is confused by the "..", it throws its hands up and calls the default intellisense as well.

We hate to add yet another option, but may need to since the delay can be quite annoying. Still thinking...
