salesforcedx-vscode: Autocomplete / IntelliSense not working

Summary

Autocomplete / IntelliSense not working for Apex code. On both SObjects and built in Apex functions.

Steps To Reproduce:

Open Salesforce project, with existing classes.
Run sfdx sobject definitions refresh -u ORG_NAME
Type something and wait for the autocomplete

Expected result

Should show autocomplete/IntelliSense or snippet suggestion

Actual result

No autocomplete suggestions.

Additional information

SObject definitions pull in nicely.

Autocomplete doesnt work so nicely.

Screenshot_1

Additional information VS Code Version: 1.44.2 SFDX CLI Version: 7.56.1-2773b53bf5 OS and version: Windows 10 Home, Version 1909 JAVA Version: jdk-11.0.7

Have tried using various environments, both sandboxes and scratch orgs. Projects have very few apex classes, or any other components.

Test Classes do work very nicely, and I have double checked my JAVA_HOME/JDK_HOME paths (in addition to adding "salesforcedx-vscode-apex.java.home": "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk-11.0.7", to preferences.

Is there a work-around for this issue? Barring that, is there a specific version set (VSCode, SFDX) that I can install to get fully-functional autocomplete for Apex classes? For what it’s worth, I’m seeing the same logging output for the Apex Language Server.

Does the ‘refresh object definitions’ sfdx command somehow solve your issue? Its been deemed to solve some autocomplete issues in the past, but I have no idea if it will help in your case with the trigger/apex. Thought I’d ask because i dont see mention of that factor here.

Was about to comment that new triggers are working for me as well! That is really strange that old ones are not.
