Expression Type unknown

Pressing Ctl-R + V or selecting Insert Variable from the right click menu for "cost" or "profit" gives me "Expression Type unknown".

Pressing Alt + Enter C correctly creates the variable int cost.

Its not the end of the world - just irritating.

This is 4.1.933.3

Thanks

Jeremy

Hello,

Refactorings are for transforming some valid code in the first place, and
their goal is to produce the code that is valid as well. Preferrably, with
semantic unchanged. QuickFixes are for maing some red code valid.

This is why the refactoring refuses to run — there is, like, nothing to refactor
yet. No valid code. The Introduce Variable refactoring runs on an expression,
which might contain more than one undeclared variable. This makes the behavior
very complicated, so it's left for the QuickFixes that are per-variable.
