FORCE_LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION option causes formatting and in some cases loss of intellisense

• 
  created a sample
  
  

  ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.testProc

      @endDate DATE = NULL

  AS

      BEGIN

  
  

          IF OBJECT_ID(N'tempdb..#temp') IS NOT NULL

              DROP TABLE #temp;

          CREATE TABLE #temp ( ReleaseDate DATE NOT NULL );

  
  

          INSERT INTO #temp ( ReleaseDate )

                      SELECT t.TradeDate FROM ( VALUES ( '1/1/2019' )) AS t ( TradeDate )

          OPTION ( USE HINT ( 'FORCE_LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION' ));

  
  

          --intellisense/autocomplete works here

          --SELECT * FROM #temp AS t;

  
  

          UPDATE ite SET ite.ReleaseDate = '1/1/2010' FROM #temp AS ite

          OPTION ( USE HINT ( 'FORCE_LEGACY_CARDINALITY_ESTIMATION' ));

  
  

          --intellisense/autocomplete is lost if hint in the update is used. if we comment out the hint, then it starts working here as well.

          --if you take all these statements out of a proc, then intellisense/autocomplete works.

          SELECT * FROM #temp;

  
  

      END;

  after opening a ticket and no resolution at this time... I would like the formatting module to be open sourced so that if we can fix it, then we can compile that dll and drop it into our local machine to remove such small annoyances.
