This just started happenning in 1209, I think, and it's very annoying.
Rarely (maybe 1 time in 100) Often (maybe 1 time in 20), VAX will go ahead and finish typing in my method name for me - in a sense, it's taking "AutoCompletion" too literally. For example, let's say I'm in a class called MyListCtrl, which is derived from CListCtrl. If I type "GetCol", I usually see a listbox of 10 items to choose from, and I scroll to the one I want and hit <Enter>.
Every 100th 20th time or so, though, VAX will just go ahead and, as soon as I hit the "ell" in "GetCol", type in the "umnWidth" for me (!), yielding "GetColumnWidth". This is not good - what I was actually going to type in was "GetColumnDisplayed", a method I just added to my derived class. Now I have to backspace and delete the "umnWidth" and try again; this time VAX works correctly.
I can't figure out the pattern, but it's driving me nuts! Even when it guesses correctly, it still screws me up. For example, I was typing in the word 'delete', and when I looked up, I saw instead 'deletete'. I had typed 'dele', and VAX (incorrectly) entered 'te' for me, and then I typed in 'te'.
Ugh! It's bad enough to make we want to roll back to 1208...

Well, it's been four hours since I installed 1210, and it hasn't happened once! Yay!

What else has been fixed or changed in build 1210? It it a recommended update (well, I'm probably prying enough to check it anyway, but it doesn't hurt to ask)? BTW: I like to have a file history.txt included in the setup, with detailed list of changes.

Is it a "officially released" Patch yet? Or should we stay with 1209 until otherwise told? |
