Hi!
I want to report on 2 bugs with the latest VA AND latest beta under Windows XP SP2:
1. Incorrect coloring on some elements backgrounds after system's Window color change. Re-parse/re-install VAX wont' help.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Clean VS 2005 installation on Windows XP SP2
2. Set Window color in Windows Display Settings to gray.
3. Install latest VAX
4. Open some solution (tested on C#). Coloring is good.
5. Close VS 2005
6. Set Window color in Windows Display Settings to white.
7. Start VS 2005 and open solution. Coloring is corrupted (as shown on the screenshot).
2. Incorrect suggestion list size with function names on local language.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Clean VS2005 + latest VAX install.
2. Create function with local language name (Russian on screenshot).
3. Try to type its name. Suggestion list has incorrect width.
Visual Assist info:
VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1533.0 built 2006.08.23

Feline: You said you added the Russian Keyboard. Did you add the Russian Language? |

I have the file, thank you. Using an English WinXP pro SP2 machine with VS2005 (English) I am seeing the following:
Am I missing something obvious? I have added the Russian keyboard, and selected it to type the function name.
Your listbox is only tall enough for one item, plus my tooltip does not understand Russian characters correctly. This suggests there is some other difference between your system and mine. |

Would you be able to give me a test file that used to show this problem? I may be able to reproduce the bug that way. |

No. I'm using English versions for both VS.NET and Windows. "Licensed to" showed just my name as I was in trial mode. For now my trial is expired and I cannot use VAX any more. |

Are you using a localized IDE?
You provided the About info but omitted the "Licensed to" field. Can you post it or send it to us via email? If posting, you are welcome to make the email address slightly unreadable to spambots don't find it.

I still cannot reproduce this, I have asked our programmers if they have any ideas. |

It is just appearing. And it only happen with localized characters all the time. |

The background colour being wrong is an IDE bug, it happens even with VA un-installed. having changed the colour, go to:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors
set the background color for "Identifier" to "Automatic". this should fix the background color for you. the IDE likes to set the background color to "Default" which is often wrong when you change the global background colour. |

I still can't get the listbox to be the wrong size. Does it only happen with localized characters? Does it happen all the time for you, or only some of the time, or only in one project? Does it happen if you create a new project using the Wizard? |

I have both VS.NET 2003 and VS 2005 installed. I just cannot disable VisualAssist using its menu in VS.
I disable it, close VS (2003 or 2005, doesn't matter), start VS again and see VA enabled :(
That is by design - the enable/disable VA command is not persistent. If you do not want VA to load in the IDE you need to change the startup behavior of the addin (Tools|Addin Mgr) - use the startup checkbox.
Except in vs2005 - since the IDE will let you uncheck the checkbox but won't actually do anything. Microsoft informed me that is by design. So you have to use the registry and change the LoadBehavior to 0 at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\Addins\\VAssistNET.Connect8

Yes, this includes the listbox sizing. |

Coloring problem is
case=2581
Not disabling is
case=2582
You said that changing fonts had the same results. Does that include the listbox sizing? |

The same situation with Courier New and other fonts. Reset do defaults doesn't help.

There are already some problems reported that only happen with the Consolas font. Can you see if these issues happen for you with another font (say, Courier New, for example)? |
