"Rename symbol" when instance property is assigned to itself does not work

[garyking]

• VSCode Version: Version 1.26.1 (1.26.1)
• OS Version: Mac 10.13.5 (17F77)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the following code:

class Test {
  constructor() {
    this.a = this.a.bind(this);
  }

  a() {
    return 'a';
  }
}

2. With the cursor on the a in a(), run "Rename symbol", and rename it to something else. The symbol in this.a = will not rename.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I can't repo using VS Code insiders with TypeScript 3.0.1 (the bundled version of TypeScript):

Please provide more information about your project setup. Have you configured the typescript.tsdk setting?

I reproduced with the latest Insiders, all default settings, no project settings, just a folder with one file.

Thanks. Upon further investigation, this issue is a duplicate of microsoft/TypeScript#18171
