Why IntelliSense offers things from not included files?

Description

Hi.
Looks like it's some bug (feature? if feature then how turn it off?) with that IntelliSense somehow analyzes all files in folder and subfolders, and tries to give me things from other files ignoring if they are included or not.
I have only this thing activated. No other extensions active.

For example, when I'm trying to IntelliSense MsgBox, it shows me big list of functions with one that will add MsgBox(msg) (red pointer on pic) if pressed on top of lists. Correct msgbox, ... (green pointer) is somewhere close to bottom.

I'm not sure from where exact MsgBox() function is, but I see some number of functions from \MsgBox2_AHK\AHK1\TheArkive_MsgBox2_Example.ahk file, like MsgBox2ExClose(hwnd) (can be seen on pic, 2nd right after msgbox() one), so I'm going to use this one as an example.

I tried to work in new completely empty folder with only one file that is I'm working in and that thing not appears, only correct ones are shown there.

Reproduction steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In opened folder I have an empty .ahk file. In this file I will try to msgbox.
2. Plus I have some number of other files, including \MsgBox2_AHK\AHK1\TheArkive_MsgBox2_Example.ahk file. TheArkive_MsgBox2_Example file is NOT #include into opened .ahk file, it's completely empty.
3. Try to start writing ms
4. See that for some reasons IntelliSense shows you things that are in one folder, but not included in current file.

Expected behavior

I expect, that only base ahk + opened file's content + #include's will be shown in IntelliSense offers.

Additional context

PS Just to make things clear: ~95% of my .ahk scripts are small one-file projects, that not need to be allocated to a separate project-folder, that's why they are in one big folder that contains things that can be not included in current one.

Yes, this is a long-standing issue, thanks for pointing it out. It's closely related to #338 and likely some other open issues.

Thanks for your answer. Hope that can be fixed without rewriting all intellisence function =)
