You can try ECB, which can host speedbar in that way.

I do not see this problem in terminal mode nor under X.  Is anything
else going on?

The senator based function looks for the nearest string and completes
on that based on all symbols in the current file.  You can also use
hippie-expand to get to that senator functionality.

The ia-complete functions use a local context analyzer instead, which
means the only provided options are what semantic thinks belongs
there, including symbols from outside the local file.

Because you have no closing brace on your class, there is no local
context because it cannot determine where you are (in a function,
variable, comment, etc.)

This is a problem that would be nice to solve someday, but for now,
you just need to complete your {} blocks.
