I'm getting much strangeness with the latest VA1830 using Visual Studio 2010.
For example, I am getting Intellisense popups when I type something that should not have a popup. I've included a screenshot showing the kind of strangeness I'm getting. The popup was triggered by typing the first letter of the work 'TRUE' in this tertary statement, BOOL bHonorAR = (bMaintainAspectRatio == VARIANT_TRUE ? TRUE : FALSE);.
This strangeness is not consistant and is hard to reliably reproduce. Are there many problems with VS2010? Is a new version coming soon?

I am really glad this problem sees to be fixed, and hopefully it will stay fixed. |

I am using multiple monitors, but no utilities that might effect how windows are drawn.
It's been nearly a week and so far the problem has not arisen with version 1833. As it was happening on a daily basis with the previous versions, it appears a change in the latest release has fixed the problem. If it does happen again, I'll make sure to try your suggestions and update this thread. |

Are you using multiple monitors on your system?
Running any utilities or programs that might effect how windows are drawn, or where they are positioned?
Document specific is interesting, I am just not sure what to make of it. If there is something in the code file, or one of its included headers that is confusing our parser this could well explain problems with intellisense, but I don't see how it could effect copy / paste, and other things like this.
Next time you see intellisense problems can you please show VA Outline and see if the outline of the current file seems correct. Is VA showing something sensible in the context and definition fields as you move the caret into and out of (moving vertically) the current function?
Copy and Paste, what method are you using here? Assuming you can still select text, if you use the IDE Edit menu commands for copy and paste does this work? I am wondering if it seems to be a keyboard shortcut problem, or something else. |

"Show Miscellaneous files in Solution Explorer" is disabled. I do not have any IDE extensions installed. When I completely untinstalled the IDE and Visual Assist and then reinstalled, nothing else was installed. I really have no idea why the problems are occuring.
When these problems start occuring, it seems to be document specific. I can close the file for which the problems are occuring and reopen it to get VA to play nice again. Restarting the IDE or rebooting the machine is not necessary.
I'm trying version 1833 today and I'll let you know if there is any change. |

Do you have the IDE option:
"Show Miscellaneous files in Solution Explorer" in Tools|Options|Environment|Documents.
turned On or Off? When this is turned on then occasionally round brackets can be sent to the wrong file, at least in earlier IDE's.
Do you have any other IDE extensions installed? I am wondering if you have any idea of what might have triggered these problems? You mention they appeared after a few days.
The loss of context menus interests me, since this almost sounds like something on your computer is leaking GDI objects, or some other type of resource. Does closing and reloading the IDE make any difference to any of these problems?
Does rebooting the machine make any difference? |

BTW, this is also occuring in version 1832 RC1...

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to send a crash dump for the above incident. I'll make sure to get one if it occurs again.
In the mean time, I have completely uninstalled Visual Studio 2010 and Visual AssistX. I then reinstalled both applications in hope of resolving this issue. Within a few days of the reinstallations, the problems once again started to occur.
Additional symptoms include random editing of code in non-active code windows, lack of intellisense to function and loss of some editing functions (copy, context menus). |

The strangeness continues...
I've uninstalled all Visual Studio 2010 extensions and installed the latest VA1832. The problems continue to exist and here is an error received after VA crashed the IDE:
Here's the call stack:

Are you using any other Visual Studio extensions? If yes, what are these?
Can you please provide an example where Create implementation does not work?
Are these problems started to happen with 1830? If yes, what Visual Assist version did you use before? |

Integration of Visual AssistX with VS2008 SP1 worked fine, without any issues. The "Get content from default Intellisense" option is set. The wrong content and the wrong position do happen at once.
I'm also noticing that at times, pasting code does not get aligned correctly. Or that typing an opening bracket does not invoke the automatic placement of the closing bracket. Today I noticed that I am unable to click on the definition of a class method and use the Refactor->Create Declaration option as it's greyed out. |

1830 should work quite reliable. How often does this happen? Once a day? Once an hour? Even more frequently?
It would be interesting to know if it happened or not if you temporarily disabled Visual Assist via
VAssistX -> Enable/Disable Visual Assist X
Is this something that worked reliably in vs2008 sp1 for you?
Do you have the following setting turned on?
VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense
Does the wrong content and the wrong position happens at once? |
