When writing code inside a method, autocomplete won't load the majority of things in global scope, including functions, globals, macros, and even keywords. The project has to have a lot of code in it for the problem to happen. I added a bunch of libraries to the sample project to reproduce the issue. It does not happen in an empty project. It only happens inside methods, not when typing code in an event directly.
With all these conditions met, autocomplete works when you've only written a single character, but as soon as you write a 2nd character it only shows a tiny selection of irrelevant options, or nothing at all.
