[Eric] Srange intellisense behavior.

[objectref]

Hmmm...i see, we are QScintilla's hostages  :)

Intellisense in the fabulous Eric, is the only thing that is working a
little "strangely". Can we home for some change in the future ?

No, you are doing fine. That feature is not present in eric4. QScintilla2 
expects API files of a specific format which it compiles into an internal 
format. Eric4 doesn't scan a file when it is saved in order to generate an 
API file. And if it did, this API file would need to be added to the list of

API files for Python and would need to be compiled. After that step, the 
completions would be available for all Python scripts. Dynamic
autocompletion 
is not supported by QScintilla2.
