const int var = 1.0l; - Put the cursor on

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in an arbitrary C++ file using const int var = 1.0l;, then compare IntelliSense's displayed value with the double case, const int var = 1.0;. Trace the IntelliSense handling of the long double conversion and verify that the displayed value is 1 while the existing double behavior remains unchanged.
