If you select text, then Shift+Right Click, the VA menu doesn't pop up properly like it did with 1557. It flashes up for a fraction of a second, then disappears, probably removing the selection as well.

The solution is to right click in the breakpoint margin, if you have it enabled.

Odd. Which IDE are you using?

I have just double checked with VS2005 and VA 1557, I selected several lines of code and then shift+right clicked in the editor window, and the code remained selected when the VA context menu appeared.

"shift+right click removing the selection is a known bug we introduced into 1559:"

Hmm, I see this behavior in VAX 1557.

This has been fixed internally, and I would expect to see a fix in the next build.

As a temporary work around you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the command VAssistX.InsertAutotext
Not quite the same as working with the right click menu, but you may find this helps.

IDE: VS2005, not SP1.

Well it's working alright today -- so don't ask me what was going on there. Even restarting Visual Studio didn't fix it.

Anyway I hope you manage to make it work the old way; I have some autotext entries that use $selection$, and it's quicker to select with the mouse then not move it further than it is to select with the mouse then move it to the margin.

Thanks!

shift+right click removing the selection is a known bug we introduced into 1559:

case=7569

but for me the right click menu still appears as normal, it is just the selection is removed.
