In C, following a cast to a pointer type, '.' does not automatically change to '->'.

struct Bar;

struct Foo 
{
    int i;
};

void f(struct Bar* p)
{
    ((struct Foo*)p).i = 1;    /* '.' should change to '->' */
}

Problem has been the same in all of the recent betas that I have tried. Worked correctly in 1446.

Using VS 2005 with Courier New 10pt font, spaces for indention, Unix line ending, default character encoding (not Unicode, MBCS, etc), no other add-ins, US English version of Windows and VS.

I'm seeing the same thing doing '.' yeilds no suggestion list, but if I manually type '->' I get a suggestion list.

kurt are you sure this used to work in VS 1446? i have just tried this in 1446, using both VS2003 and VS2005, and it is not working for me in either IDE.

i ask since if this was broken then this is probably a more important bug, since we try to avoid loosing existing functionality in the newer builds.
