constructor snippet for nested class creates constructor for outer class

Reported by Baruch Burstein Mar 09, 2017 at 01:34 PM windows 6.1 visual studio 2017 ide C++Fixed in: Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5 Preview 2 fixed in: visual studio 2017 version 15.5

In C++, there is an intellisense completion (or whatever it is called) for creating a default constructor. If I am in a class definition and type ctor + <TAB> , it gives me a blank default constructor. If I do the same in a nested class, it gives me a constructor for the outer one. Example:

 class A {
     class B {
         ctor&lt;TAB&gt;
     }
 }

will expand to:

 class A {
     class B {
         A() {
             
         }
     }
 }
