Public summary
When a class is declared inside a Namespace, or made visible by an Import statement, code that references it by its short name compiles and runs correctly — but the editor cannot resolve it. For example, with MemoryTableColumn in namespace BardTech and Import BardTech at the top of the item, Var columnDefinition As MemoryTableColumn followed by columnDefinition. shows no member list, and hovering columnDefinition.StartingOffset shows no tool tip.
Hovering the variable itself still shows its declared type, and the code passes the analyser, which makes this look arbitrary from the outside. Expected behaviour: short-name references that the compiler accepts should get full member autocomplete and tool tips.
Impact: all member completion and hover for that type is dead wherever it is referenced by short name. Referring to it by its qualified name (BardTech.MemoryTableColumn) still works.
