Saw the case while regressing bug adobe/brackets#3827

1. Setup a project with these 3 files: https://gist.github.com/jrowny/31af730a02b2d2dfddeb
   I did clone the files, open the folder in brackets
2. Open app.js file
3. put a cursor after $scope.
   ->there is no code hint, just guessing one
   try to jump to $scope.name, it focuses name property in angular.min.js.

However in tern, it shows more code hints: name, nameItem, namespace, namespaceURI

Expect: code hint at step 3.

This appears fixed in the most recent tern - will pick up that fix when we update.

@eztierney: I still did not see the code hint for $scope., jump to $scope.name no longer jumps to anywhere, is it expected? thanks.

I don't think tern can generate hints for $scope - what type is it supposed to be? I think the bug was that we were jumping to 'name' in angular.js, even though tern didn't know where 'name' came from.

ok, I see, Tern returns incorrect properties in the case. closed it as jump to now doesn't jump to other location.
