Wrong matches highlighting in completion list if CompletionItem.FilterText is set

[vasily-kirichenko]

If I create a CompletionItem with the following code:

CommonCompletionItem.Create(name, ..., filterText = filterText)

and filterText is different from name, then matches in completion list are wrong:

(here filterText for items are bind, bind, BindIPEndPoint, bind2, bind and so on).

However, the filtering itself works OK.

I expect "bind" to be highlighted (shown in bold font) in all items. Currently it highlights the first four characters of each item.

What is your filter text in hte above examples?

[vasily-kirichenko]

(here filterText for items are bind, bind, BindIPEndPoint, bind2, bind and so on).

In short, the last part of long (dot delemited) identifier. I'll recheck in debugger, but i'm pretty sure about that.

@vasily-kirichenko I have a potential fix. Can you try it out and see if it takes care of things for you?

[vasily-kirichenko]

@CyrusNajmabadi sure, but how I can test it?

[CyrusNajmabadi]

Just pull down my branch, and build Roslyn with it.

Ok, highlighting result with my change:

This is great, thanks. How can I know that it's in NuGet?

[CyrusNajmabadi]

This will be in our 15.3 release. If your work targets that same release, then things will work out. I'm not sure how/when this flows through nuget. @jasonmalinowski might know.

We will have packages uploaded https://dotnet.myget.org/gallery/roslyn that would contain the fix if you need it in NuGet package form. The packages would be versioned 2.3.0-beta1-*.
