If I call up the context menu by right clicking in a document while "Updating Intellisense" appears in the status bar, Visual Studio frequently freezes.
I also have Ref++ installed, and although I have not tried uninstalling to see if this contributes, my Ref++ install has been unchanged since April 06 (they unfortunately don't upgrade as frequently as you guys), and I have never noted this problem in previous versions of VAX.
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, VAX 1535
By the way -- I am looking forward to you guys duplicating the refactoring features of Ref++ so I can get rid of that program.  |

are you using C++ ? it seems likely.
approximately how large is your solution? the C++ intellisense parser in VS2005 is known to be "rather slow" with large C++ solutions.
if you have:
VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense
turned off and VA enabled you could try creating two zero length, read only NCB files. you need to do this while the IDE is closed, placing one in the base directory of the solution and one in the %TEMP% directory. the IDE will complain when you load it, and it will no longer highlight inactive #if 0, #endif blocks as inactive.
when the IDE freezes can you open task manager and check the CPU usage?
if the IDE is consuming 100% of your CPU, or 50% if you are on a dual CPU system then this would make sense. if you leave the IDE does it return to life after a few minutes?
none of this explains why right clicking should cause this problem though *puzzled* |

"The "updating intellisense" message is from the IDE not VA."
I figured as much, but when VA is disabled, I do not get these very long "Updating Intellisense" messages. With VA installed, the progress bar will get about 80% finished, then take 5-10 minutes to complete.
It's hard to predict when the Updating message will come up, but three times today I noticed the message, tried right clicking in a document, and had the application freeze.
Again, with VA disabled, this message is gone too quickly to test for freezes. And this did not happen until I installed 1535.
I'll try for a few days with VA disabled, and see if the problem repeats.

The "updating intellisense" message is from the IDE not VA. If you are displaying the built-in (native) context menu, then it would seem the problem might be with the IDE. Are you able to reproduce this problem? If so, disable VA at startup and see if it continues to occur without VA. |
