Code completion doesn't work well outside of projects

Code completion does not work unless a project has been opened before opening the file to be edited and Code::Blocks has saved this file at least once.

Operating system: Linux (Lubuntu 11.10).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create the following files and place them in the same folder:

===foobar.h===

void foobar();

===end foobar.h===

===demo.c===

#include "foobar.h"

int main()

{

fo

return 0;

}

===end demo.c===

2. Open demo.c in Code::Blocks.

3. Place the cursor at the end of line 5 and press Ctrl+Space. "foobar" does not appear in the code completion dropdown.

4. Close demo.c.

5. Open any Code::Blocks project.

6. Reopen demo.c.

7. Place the cursor at the end of line 5 and press Ctrl+Space. "foobar" does not appear in the code completion dropdown.

8. Make a trivial change to demo.c, for example adding a newline and deleting it.

9. Save demo.c.

10. Place the cursor at the end of line 5 and press Ctrl+Space. Now it works!

I really like Code::Blocks and I would love to be able to use Code::Blocks as a source code editor even when I'm editing a file that's not part of a Code::Blocks project. This bug makes that a lot harder. Please let me know if you need any additional information, screenshots, etc.
