[MonoDevelop] Code completion stopped working

[Matt Calder]

Thank you both, Abe and Mike. Given this and my previous post
regarding code formatting I guess an upgrade is in the cards. It
sounds like if one wants to use c# 4 features, it is better to move to
MD 2.6. Two questions, two answers, one day, life is good.
