Code Completion gives a list of Templates instead of Functions and Properties

[Gord P 14]

Well as the subject lines states, most (95%) of the time I see a list that looks like the first image below.  It is not entirely repeatable.  Occasionally I get the bottom one (which is the expected response).

 

It seems to happen more when the Classic Compiler is false.  Sometimes nothing shows up, not even the list of templates.  

 

I can't imagine it is a common thing as I would have seen something online about it I am sure (because it is really irritating).

 

Anyone have any ideas if I screwed up a setting or something and if so, which one?

 

I am using 11.3 (no Patch 1).   Never had this issue with 10.3.3.

I find the same with the clang code completion - it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I know Embarcadero are aware of this and are trying to make it better. However I think the new approach that is coming (as per David Milington's recent blog) promises to get this properly sorted. It's an essential feature in the world of modern C++ IDEs. If you haven't read David's blog - here's the link:

I am definitely having less occurrence of this if I remember to change the "Use 'classic' Borland compiler" setting to 'true' before I do anything.  The docWiki says the default is 'true' but that is not the case.
