LotusScript editor suggest (type ahead) feature does not work in 8.5.2

When I type:

Dim vn As NotesViewNavigator

vn.

in a Script Library Class Function I NEVER get the list of methods and properties. If I type this in an Initialize event of an agent it works better (not always). Please fix.

Subject: Works OK for me…

…but this function is disabled if there are other syntax errors that make the context help system uncertain that it can work reliably.

Subject: Does not work in 8.5.1 FP4 either

Hi,

I tried now with 8.5.1 FP4. In [Sub New] it works but in any other [Function] of the [Class] it does not work. I copy pasted the code in my first post to a Script Library that had no errors.

EDIT: This might have something to do with the Designer bug which causes most of my Script Libraries to show error “Circular dependency error detected: ” in the first line of “(Options)” section. The error disappears when the Script Library is saved second time.

Subject: Steps to reproduce

I’m testing again with 8.5.2 and now I have exact steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a LotusScript Class in a script library (not sure if this step is needed)

  2. Create a Function inside the Class

  3. Make the function return e.g. string or integer by ending the function name with $ or % (this is how most of my functions are named)

If I remove the $ or % or other type sign from the end of the function name, the type-ahead works fine.
