Completion is not working at some positions
Migrated from http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/2957

Consider the following program in Eclipse
I noticed that it first does a typedTreeAt for the position <x.> which gives an error, the it corrects itself and demands a typeMembers for x. The typeMembers method in Global does give back a list of members, but somehow this list is not shown afterwards.
Btw it's maybe best to wait for my next checkin (on Jan 24th of interaactive.Global because I added something else which makes code completion more robust.

This problem still persists (scala 2.8 final, latest scala ide update), actually in my experience, auto completion rarely works, very frustrating.
Some more examples:
The "o." in the above snippet will not complete.
But, if I type "o.a" it will suggest all methods that start with "a".
On the other hand, if we add the following code:
Now the "o." will suggest o's methods.
Some more examples:
val o = <some object>
o.
o.doSomethingThe "o." in the above snippet will not complete.
But, if I type "o.a" it will suggest all methods that start with "a".
On the other hand, if we add the following code:
val o = <some object>
o.
val p = <some other object>
o.doSomethingNow the "o." will suggest o's methods.
