VSCode Auto Import not working correctly

[ps73]

Describe the bug

It seems that the auto import for this package inside a TypeScript Repo in VSCode is not working correctly.

Instead of importing the real modules it always tries to import it from the type definitions.

Clicking this menu element:

Hmm. I can't reproduce and I auto import in VSCode (into other apps) all the time. Can I quickly ask for your VSCode and TypeScript versions? Also maybe your tsconfig.

[jamesgpearce]

Actually now I can repro. The heuristic here is surprising but let me try and figure it out.

[jamesgpearce]

OK, this might be better

[jamesgpearce]

OK, try v4.5.6 and restart your TS server. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for your quick fix. Now it works like expected 👍
