Hello,

with some code in VSCode the autocomplete and hints are not working.

For instance with the following codeL
console.log(event.target.parentNode);
Visual studio code does not show the options when I type in event.target.ParentNode or with event.target.
Can somebody help me?

cheers,
Lino

Steps to Reproduce:

1. type in console.log(event.target.p -> parentNode is expected
   2.type in event.ta -> target is expected.

This issue still exists in Version 1.18.0 (1.18.0)

It has more than 1 year guys. It's time to fix that annoying bug, used brackets for comparison and intellisense is much better for DOM.

As mentioned in the linked PR (microsoft/TypeScript-DOM-lib-generator#207) there are significant performance issues when introducing the generics that would need to be addressed.
