GDScript editor IntelliSense is displaying the wrong type for a defined variable about godot HOT 3 OPEN

#85224 should have fixed that but I made an oversight. We use the analyzer logic to test whether the assigned type is compatible. The analyzer allows assigning variant types to everything, and pick_random returns a variant which for the analyzer is compatible with PackedScene (though unsave). So we end up with the type of the assigned expression but a variant doesn't has much value for autocompletion.

Edit: Just to clarify this any icon is used for all local variables at the moment. The type of the variable has no influence on it. I consider the scope of this issue to be the not working autocompletion. It might make sense to create a separate issue to request a better icon for local variables though.

Not sure if related, but I realise that type hints are not working (also giving me "any", which I see is not an issue here).

But for example.

var mesh: MeshInstance3D = get_child(0)
mesh.get_surface_override_material(0)  # this gives no autocompletion

I find that I am needing to use the as keyword a lot to get autocompletion to work.

As long as you are still on 4.2 no need to worry, #85224 should've fixed that. If you are using 4.3 please open an issue with an MRP about it.
