yym	Posted - Feb 15 2010 : 09:47:49 AM (Build 1738) When I do a Go to symbol (Alt+G), if the file isn't open it opens and the cursor is left at the beginning of the file instead of at the correct definition. If the file is open it works ok.

yym	Posted - Feb 21 2010 : 02:08:10 AM I see. The truth is that with the VA context and definition fields, the code definition window isn't so necessary. I'll see if I can manage without it.
feline	Posted - Feb 19 2010 : 2:43:20 PM It turns out the Code Definition Window is triggering this problem: case=22548 If you set the Code Definition Window to auto hide, or group it with one or more other windows, so you can hide it behind them, then the problem goes away. This is not a perfect solution, but it might help as a workaround for now.
feline	Posted - Feb 19 2010 : 2:20:45 PM I have the files, many thanks for these: case=39927 Once I import your IDE settings I can reproduce the alt-g problem. I am now trying to work out what the trigger is.
feline	Posted - Feb 18 2010 : 10:51:10 AM I have created the same solution here, but so far I cannot reproduce this alt-g problem. Can you please send me the solution you are testing, along with your VA and VS2008 settings? VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings I can then import them here and see if I can reproduce the problem. Please submit the files via the form: http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.
yym	Posted - Feb 17 2010 : 12:09:10 PM I created a new empty project and added 2 files to it: 1.h: class CzzzApp; extern CzzzApp theApp; 1.cpp: // 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 int z; class CzzzApp {}; CzzzApp theApp; If I put the cursor on theApp in 1.h (with 1.cpp closed) and press Alt+g I get to the first line of 1.cpp instead of the CzzzApp theApp; line. (Interestingly the window is scrolled down a few lines. If I add enough blank lines before CzzzApp theApp; the window doesn't scroll at all.) The context and definition fields are fine. (Here they show extern CzzzApp theApp; rather than CzzzApp theApp;, in other cases they have always shown exactly what I expected.) Contrary to what I said before, leaving 1.h open for a period of time doesn't seem to make any difference.
feline	Posted - Feb 17 2010 : 11:01:28 AM This almost sounds like a VA parser problem. When you find a reproducible case can you just place the caret into the symbol and look at the VA context and definition fields. These are normally at the top of the editor window. What is shown in these fields? Are you seeing sensible information about the current symbol, or something else? Can you try creating a new, default solution and copying the two files that reliably reproduce this problem into this new solution. The code won't compile, but can you still reproduce the problem? I am wondering if the trigger is file specific, or if it depends on some other feature of your solution, a #include line for example.
yym	Posted - Feb 17 2010 : 03:39:22 AM It can happen quite frequently - more than 1 in 10 - but since often the window is open I don't notice it that often. It seems to depend on where I do the goto from and where it is going to, and it's easily reproducible - once I've found a place it happens I just need to close the window where the symbol definition is and it'll happen again. I have just found out something else - it depends how long the window I am doing the goto from has been open. If I leave it open for long enough everything works. How long is enough depends on the symbol, for one symbol a couple of seconds is enough, for another symbol I'll have to leave it open for a minute. If I close the window (and leave it closed for a while) then open it again the problem happens again. This also explains why I don't see the problem that often, normally the window I'm working will be kept open for some time, whereas when I was checking for the problem I opened and closed windows.
feline	Posted - Feb 16 2010 : 9:01:23 PM How often can you reproduce this problem? Does it happen one time in 10? One time in 50? I am wondering if something is interfering with VA when the file is opened for the first time. Perhaps an anti-virus program, or something else like this.
yym	Posted - Feb 16 2010 : 02:01:41 AM The problem doesn't always occur, and I only noticed it recently. I suspect there's a timing issue involved.

feline	Posted - Feb 15 2010 : 1:27:54 PM Which IDE and OS are you using? Which programming language are you working in? So far I cannot reproduce this problem here. Do you have any other IDE plugin's installed?
