I had this problem with 1274 and have installed 1277 and the problem is still there.
I am enteringtrialVec = (point2-point1).normalize();
where the points subtraction operator returns a vector.
In 1246 when I got to this pointtrialVec = (point2-point1).
I got a suggestion box with normalize in it but I don't get it in either 1274 or 1277. If however I type a -> instead of a . then I get a suggestion box with normalize in it. Unfortunately, (point2-point1) returns a vector and not a pointer to a vector.
The problem isn't that it gives the suggestion when I type -> when it shouldn't but that it doesn't give a suggestion when it should.
