I'm not sure if this question/comment should be posted here or somewhere else, but here it is. As every OpenSCAD user knows, mypoint.x can be used as shorthand for mypoint[0] when using [x,y] or [x,y,z] points. However, I noticed (and I believe it is only recently that this started happening) the OpenSCAD Extension for Visual Studio Code (which is what I normally use when writing my OpenSCAD code) started suggesting a property of XPRP9KMSFS0A3N32XZQY when I start typing mypoint.x. In other words, after I press the x key, it suggests XPRP9KMSFS0A3N32XZQY as the property. This is obviously not a property of mypoint, and I have no idea where this seeming random (although the suggested property is exactly the same every time, so random might not be an appropriate term) property comes from. This is obviously not a problem, since x is not a hard property to spell, but I was wondering if anybody else has had this happen. Anybody else, or just me?

What is the Leathing Extension? Here is a screenshot of one of my scenarios where this is happening:

I will also point out that in the screenshot above boxsize (which is the variable of which x is a member) is a parameter of the module in which this code is placed (although it happens in other places as well).

Subject: [OpenSCAD] Re: Visual Studio Code OpenSCAD Extension Suggests XPRP9KMSFS0A3N32XZQY As X Property

Using the Leathing Extension, which auto-updated on 2025-06-12, when I specify variable.x I get a list of all symbols that contain "x".

Dear forum,

I have two Openscad versions running (in Windows 11).
2021.01 and 2025.03.19
When I store an STL the first version adds the expected stl-extension.
The second does not, it is empty.
In The explorer window it promises to do it but it doens't.
So I have to add it manually.
Can I turn it on in someway?

kind regards
Johan
