I've set the autotext entry for Refactor Document Method to
/**
 * $SymbolName$
 * 
 * @return  $SymbolType$    
 * @param   $MethodArgName$    $MethodArgType$    
 */


Now try 'Document Method' on any of the following:
operator double();

or
operator std::vector<int>();

or
operator std::vector<const double*>();


What I get is some code block that halfway looks like it should, but uses another font and various weird symbols (possibly part of that font). Apart from the fact I didn't even know the font could be changed locally this isn't really the kind of behaviour I expected

case=7208 is fixed in Build 1561

The missing "double*" is not yet fixed and is covered by:

case=7250

I noted the missing "double*" on the 3rd operator function in case=7209 after spotting that oddity myself.


The missing semi-colon, I have been caught exactly the same way quite a few times myself. When all else fails see if the code compiles. When it fails to compile, and you find the syntax error refactoring normally starts working again.

Also I have learned to look out for missing semi-colons when refactoring is not offered, see it is almost a feature

Btw., here's another case of 'brightening my day' :

Take this code:
class Foo {
    ~Foo()
    Foo();
};

Then put the cursor on the destructor and try 'Refactor Document Method'.

Ok, as can be seen, the problem arises from the missing ';', but in my case the method in question was a bit longer, so it took me a while to spot the true reason behind this surprising behavior

Apart from the font change and the 'squares' replaced by some odd characters your screenshot resembles what I see. There's definitely some invalid characters involved, so I'm not surprised to see differences.

Also note that in the last example 'double' is missing as well - this is what I see as well, but I wasn't sure you would be able to reproduce it.

Has it occurred to you that since you are such a valuable customer this was organised just for you, to brighten your day, and to add interest to your coding?

This screen shot shows what I am getting:



I have very occasionally seen something similar to what you describe, but I have seen it when the IDE spontaneously decides to turn a line of code into "random" text, in a totally unreadable font. For me that is a display only problem that spontaneously goes away after a few seconds, and I have seen it happen even without VA installed.


I am seeing two problems here though. First no return type:

case=7208

and secondly the squares, invalid characters that may be triggering the display effect on your machine, in the symbol name:

case=7209
