What is the issue affecting?

Completion

Expected Behaviour

When using a defined class as the type for a parameter, the fields of that table should be offered as an autocompletion when calling the function.

For an example, using @alias works like so:

Actual Behaviour

No autocompletion is automatically offered when using @class as the type for a parameter. If you press CTRL + Space, you can make the completions appear, but they will not appear automatically.

Nothing is offered:

Reproduction steps

  1. Use the below code:
    ---@class Options
    ---@field page number
    ---@field active boolean
    
    ---@param opts Options
    local function acceptOptions(opts) end
    
    acceptOptions()
  2. Move your cursor to line 9 (acceptOptions()) and place it between the parentheses

  3. Enter { to start a table literal
  4. No completions are offered
  5. Press CTRL + Space and notice that the first 2 options are actually proper completions from the Options class. These should automatically be offered.
