I had this problem with 1274 and have installed 1277 and the problem is still there.
I am entering
trialVec = (point2-point1).normalize();
where the points subtraction operator returns a vector.
In 1246 when I got to this point
trialVec = (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.

We take it as a compliment when one finds a case when a suggestion is so obvious.

VA X does not evaluate the semantics of "(point2-point1)" to determine if dot or -> is appropriate. This has been the case in all builds of VA.

We suspect you had/have "Include bits of code" enabled, and had a line containing "->normalize" elsewhere in your code, at least when you had 1246 installed.

Make sure you have "Include bits of code" enabled in our options dialog.
