The recovery here is poor. One of two things should have happened:

1. The missing brace implicitly inserted before private, and recovery allows IntelliSense to be aware of the SwitchTime method.
2. The missing brace is not implicitly inserted before private, and recovery allows IntelliSense to be aware of SwitchTime as a local function.

I'm guessing the latter did actually happen, but SwitchTime was filtered out of completion due to typing this..

Accessibility modifiers should ensure that we do '1'. If not, that's a parser bug.

I have a feeling that recently VS philosophy is that we only write code top to bottom and never edit it afterwards

This is not the case. This is just an example of poor error recovery due to the language getting more constructs that are ambiguous.
