Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by Uniwares[/i] [br]VAX really is driving me nuts with its slow response when typing fast. There are two problems coming up when you type fast and use completions: 1) VAX overwrites codeparts unrelated to the current word 2) VAX presentes items which are unrelated. 1) When fast tying VAX seems to loose context and comes up with whatever suggestion, mostly unrelated. Typing Ctrl+Space brings up a completion list, selecting an item will overwrite sometimes even the word before the current. e.g. [font=Courier New]somevar = new some[red]|[/red][/font=Courier New] here it comes up with suggesting things starting with 'e', Ctrl+space brings up something more plausible, selecting SomeClass for example will then overwrite the whole "new some" part. Same happens often with class members: [font=Courier New]varDoWorkEventArgs.Re[red]|[/red][/font=Courier New], first showing suggestions with 'e', ctrl+space shows then the members, selecting "Result" overwrites the whole varDoWorkEventArgs.Re part. 2) I have the habit of relying on completion when I know that there is no "choice" to be made. For example: I type quickly [font=Courier New][blue]Sy[/blue][Enter].[blue]Di[/blue][Enter].[blue]De[/blue][Enter][/font=Courier New] to end up (when it works) with [font=Courier New][blue]System.Diagnostics.Debug[/blue] [/font=Courier New] But... VAX now introduded a new random factor: when it has to load the information of the completion list, it swallows the chars already typed and shows items starting with the LAST char typed. In the above example it does not come up with [font=Courier New].[blue]Debug[/blue][/font=Courier New] but with [font=Courier New].[blue]EntryWrittenEventArgs[/blue][/font=Courier New] since it forgot the D and saw only the e. This is happening pretty frequent with anything that VAX seems not to have in memory and makes it a torture to use completion this way. [/quote]   Check to include your profile signature.
