User(s) can reproduce this bug

E.g., class has 2 members, same name, different case, such as Ready() and READY(). Completing typing out bclass->Ready(, autocorrects to READY(, where previous versions behavior was to leave it typed as is, unless selected from the dropdown list.

Create any class with 2 or more members with same name different case, example:
class myclass {
void Ready();
void READY();
} mc;

Now type mc-> (get the dropdown, but continue typing Ready() lowercase).
mc->Ready(
Output is then changed to mc->READY(

Incorrect "autocorrect" of member.

To leave as is if fully typed out without selecting from the dropdown menu.

Thank you for reporting this problem. I have changed the behavior so that identical matches are preferred when using the Complete Word and List Members functions of the IDE. Thanks for helping make Visual Studio a better product.
