All "magic" comes from the compile_commands.json file that is
generated by the "make vim-ide-integration" command.
That file contains the invocation from which intellisense gets the
defines and header include paths.
So when not using that file intellisense will fall flat and struggle
to find headers, etc.

Now why it picks up a wrong version: no idea, would have to look at
the specific file and what the commandline is for the file.

So it seems you're not using the sample workspace file with the
compile-commands.json it seems. Or if you do: the include paths are
only the fallback in case there is no entry in the
compile_commands.json file, i.e. for externals that are built as part
of a LO compile.

Cannot really help with that.

Define "does not work" - does code completion hints for the objects
not work? then it is a bug in the vscode cpp plugin/nothing LO's
integration can help with...
