Description

See the snapshots.  On the snapshots:

A) General situation:

- The project's successfully compiled just a moment ago.

- EI fails to resolve most of the standard units;

- The problem remains when I touch the source or re-type referenced unit names.

- All library/browsing paths, both on project-level and on global level seem to be valid;

- Ctrl-Enter on those of the red-lined units that belong to VCL correctly opens the unit;

- Ctrl-Enter on any of the 3rd-party component units (TB2xxx and VirtualTrees) fails to locate the unit (although the sources are present in the paths and the compiler has no difficulties finding them).

- Closing and re-opening the unit didn't help;

- After closing and re-opening the entire project,  EI managed to resolve all the units in 'USES',  but again displayed a whole lot of false error messages.  In particular, the situation with 'Size.cx', described below, is still there.

B) Size.cx problem:

- 'Size' is a local var of type TSize;

- neither the 'Self' (a form)  nor the TVirtualTree in the 'with' block contain any property named Size;

- as usually, CodeCompletion pulldown menu correctly recognizes 'cx' and 'cy' members of Size;

- whereas EI believes 'Size' to be an integer property and reports an error on 'cx';

- the type info tooltip is inconsistent:  on 'Size' it shows 'integer property' (incorrectly), but on 'cx' it shows the correct info.

- Ctrl-Click on 'Size' correctly navigates to the local var;

- Ctrl-Click on 'cx' correctly navigates to the field's definition in Types.pas;

-
Steps to Reproduce:
See the attached snapshots and the description.

I've tried to prepare a separate test project for that, but couldn't reproduce the problem.
