Autocompletion in server side javascript?

If I type a predefined object variable in the server side javascript  editor, I get presented with all of the members of the class of that object.   For example, if I type session.(period), I get a listing of all of the properties and methods in NotesSession.
 
But if  I typecast my variables I get no autocompletion help.
 
var vw:NotesView;
 
If I type vw. (period), I do not get the autocompletion listing.
 
Should I be getting a listing?   If so how do I fix this?
 
 
I thought that I had this working once before.

Re: Autocompletion in server side javascript?
That is a bit odd, it seems you need to set vw to something to get the typeahead. Try:
 
var vw:NotesView = database.getView("RandomView")
 
you'll then get typeahead on vw
 
To be honest, I never just declare a variable in javascript as I would in Lotusscript for example, I guess there's some fundamental difference there (which someone with more knowledge than I might be able to explain)

Yep just discovered that myself.
 
 
It must be a bug.

One additional tip: if you declare a variable and set it to "null" you do get the autocomplet, e.g.:
 
var vw:NotesView = null;
