Quick fix "Import" does not work for modifier private with access qualifier

[LeUser111]

Hi there,

I'm making massive use of access modifiers in combination with access qualifiers (see Scala 2 language specification) throughout my code bases.

Unfortunately, metals does not suggest imports for members with modifier private and matching qualifier.

A simple example would be:

package com.airhack.a

private[airhack] object A {
  
    val hello = "hello"

}

package com.airhack.b

object B {
  
    // A is missing the import, metals doesn't suggest importing A, even though the import would be valid
    val hello = A.hello

}

The import quick fix works perfectly fine when A is public. Right now this means that I have to write a lot of imports by hand. It would be really nice if metals could suggest the imports automatically!

I'm not sure if this would be a bug or feature request and whether metals is even the right project - it might be an upstream issue.

I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction!

This looks like a bug, I opened an issue based on the discussion in #6732
