Description

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Here is what i typed into the Interactive console:

ulong occupied = 11000101L;

occ

After I typed "occ" then the suggestion popup window shows, I see the variable "occupied" but it doesnot show information about: what is the type of "occupied" ? (should show the type is ulong ) See the picture.
