Code Completion is different when using Schema

[Wim Velzeboer]

Hi Scott,

I noticed that the following compiles well.

System.debug(Account.Top_Account_Name__c);
System.debug(Schema.Account.Top_Account_Name__c);

The code completion works perfectly for the first line. It lists all the possible fields.
But when I prefix it with "Schema" it doesn't list the fields.

I often use the "Schema" prefix to avoid conflicts with variable names that use the same name, like this::

Account account = new Account(Top_Account_Name__c = 'test');

System.debug(Account.Top_Account_Name__c);   // 'test'

System.debug(Schema.Account.Top_Account_Name__c);   // Top_Account_Name__c

Is that expected? Or is it possible to also have the fields listed when using Schema?

That just sounds like a bug to me. Feel free to log it in the public issue tracker and that will help keep it on my radar to be addressed.
