Mmmmm. Yes I do see something different, I did not get correct highlighting when the "THIS" was not present. I have not re-tested this after a re-start, but I will try it now. Sometimes Itellesense gets a little "wiggy" after some testing, perhaps this is one of those cases.

I Just tested it again after a re-start and again it is working correctly. It still is a bug but not one as easy to crush! I would not know how to reproduce the situation again but I will pay more attention to this in the future.
