Unity Scripts edited in Visual studio don't provide autocomplete on certain lines

When I edit the C# Unity Scripts, they open in Visual Studio. I've noticed that the autocomplete works on some lines but it doesn't in others.

Here you can see what's going on:

As you can see I get the autocomplete for GetComponent function only when I type inside the line 19.

I also tried this:

By moving the whole Start() function, autocomplete seems to work, but when moving back to the original place, it seems to stop working again.

By further testing, I noticed that autocomplete does not work on lines 11 through 14 and works on any other line.

I tried updating Visual Studio, deleting and recreating the C# Script, regenerated the project files and even reimporting all assets. Nothing worked.

hover on the red underlined line says something? – rustyBucketBay
Unfortunately the file shown in this example has been modified as I had to move on with my project. It seems the issue has disappeared and kinda "fixed itself". However, I do remember what the red underlined text said. It was the typical, "the name [name] does not exist" and it would suggest me to generate code, either a class, a field or a function. – Apostolos Pezodromou Apope

Hm, that's strange. Try to go into the unity editor, go to edit/preferences/external Tools and select the VisualStudio version you are using as the external script-editor.
