Description
Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?
PDE
Processing version
4.4.10
Operating system
Windows 11 25H2
Bug description
Using the same steps as https://github.com/processing/processing4/issues/177 I can't get code completion to work under any 4.x version. I tried 4.4.10, 4.4.7, 4.3.4, 4.1.3, 4.0b9, 4.0b4, 4.0b3, 4.0b1, 4.0a6. The old 3.5.4 version works like a charm.
Steps to reproduce this
- open blank project
- enable "code completion with ctrl+space" in preferences
- type int testvar = 1;
- type testv in the next line and then press ctrl+space

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the PDE on Windows using the listed blank-project steps and compare the behavior with Processing 3.5.4. Trace the PDE code-completion entry point and determine why Ctrl+Space does not suggest the locally declared testvar in Processing 4.x; done means the suggestion appears reliably.
