Wrong Snippet inserted.

[AdamSpeight2008]

I happen upon this issue today.

Example

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim used = {1, 3, 5}
        Dim unused = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).E ' Highlight Except then do double tab.
    End Sub

End Module

Actual Output

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim used = {1, 3, 5}
        Dim unused = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Public Class 
    Inherits System.Exception

    Public Sub New(ByVal message As String)
        MyBase.New(message)
    End Sub

    Public Sub New(ByVal message As String, ByVal inner As Exception)
        MyBase.New(message, inner)
    End Sub
    End Class
    End Sub

End Module

Expected Output

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        Dim used = {1, 3, 5}
        Dim unused = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Except( || ) ' || Caret position.

    End Sub

End Module

This happens because Except is the snippet shortcut for the "Define an Exception type" snippet. It doesn't matter what was selected in completion before that - the snippet insertion logic just matches the characters in the editor when the second tab is pressed.

@Pilchie
It looks it shouldn't do that from the intellisense.

[Pilchie]

The Except snippet is actually the one to define a new exception type.

[AdamSpeight2008]

@Pilchie yes, I know it outputs Expection snippet, but from the Note: in the intellisense it suggest that. It suggests something to do with Enumerable.Expect

[Pilchie]

It's not referring to the method, it's referring to the snippet which has the shortcut Except. The tooltip logic just adds that text any time there is a snippet with a shortcut that matches the selected item.
