VS2015 breakpoint intellisense doesn't work

Question

One of the new features of VS2015 (when using C#) is the new breakpoint editor that allows you to modify breakpoint conditions or messages. The fields also come enabled with intellisense. Except for me, it seems. Try as I might I can't seem to get any sort of intellisense to appear when messing with breakpoints.

A coworker also has 2015 installed and the intellisense works fine for them. I've compared the Visual Studio info between the two of us and I can't seem to find anything that would explain the difference. Any extension I have installed he also has.

Is there some setting somewhere that I need to enable to get the breakpoint intellisense? Are there any extensions that may interfere with this feature?

For reference here's the VS2015 info from the about screen:

Same problem for me. And others: also asked here on superUser without answer yet — Askolein
As multiple people seem to have this issue there might be a corrupted IntelliSense package around.. But I guess you've installed VS15 from the same source as your co-worker, so this shouldn't be the problem.. Have a look at this post: c-sharpcorner.com/blogs/… — GrindelOh
