Azure Data Studio - Intellisense does not detect tables, yet queries work

Question

I’m breaking some new ground and trying to get into Azure Data Studio. I’m having a problem with intellisense that seems to be a bug with Azure Data Studio but I’m not sure.

I have issues with basic queries. Foreign keys, select statements and insert statements are all telling me in this example that chocolate_category does not exist, it says it is an invalid object name, or that the foreign key is invalid because the table name is invalid, etcetera.

Why is sql_text "select @@trancount" in open but sleeping transaction?

Question

Using SQL Server Management Studio, open a query window and execute

BEGIN TRAN

In another window execute

select [text],
from sys.sysprocesses
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle)
where status = 'sleeping'
and open_tran = 1

I see select @@trancount
