Yaohai Zheng (@yaohaizh) could you have a look?

I found that this problem is related to file .class.
In other words, when it's able to retrieve the sources and open the file in read-only mode. it looks like such situation limits the debug console suggestion capability.

Hi Yaohai Zheng (@yaohaizh) ,
this problem that I have noticed in attached mode is really simple to reproduce.
Write a simple code that use an opensource library like apache commons.
Step into the library code, it will open the *.class file (showing the source code).
In this situation the debug console is not able to provide suggestions.
If you need I can provide a reproducer project and a video.
Thank you
