Description

Self explanatory title, i tested 4.2 - 5.2 and it seems to have same behavior.

ambient orbit bursts resourcefully @ 0x1400033a8 try and hit Y on the virtual function field, it wont fill in the existing function pointer type. It does accept type changes but its very annoying having to copy paste the type before hitting Y.
