Description
When using the Matlab VS code extension in Linux, code auto-completion does not work. No hints appear when starting to write the name of a function and when enforcing auto-completion with the keyboard shortcut ctrl+space, a small message "Loading..." appears next to the cursor, but nothing happens.
Matlab is installed and the path is properly set. I can run code and plot figures.
To Reproduce
- Write any code in a .m file. Check if any suggested completions pop-up automatically.
Expected behavior
Suggestions for code completions should appear when writing, for example names of functions.
Useful Information
- OS Version: Linux Ubuntu 20.04
- VS Code Version: 1.96.4

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Linux Ubuntu 20.04 with VS Code 1.96.4, the MATLAB extension, and a .m file. Check completion after typing a function name and after pressing Ctrl+Space; done means MATLAB function suggestions appear in both cases instead of remaining at “Loading...”.
