I am experienceing a problem with 'comment' auto-texts.
For example, I type: /** and the autotext insertion pop-up appears, so I hit return to instert the text and instead of what is expected, I get the following inserted in C#:
/** *
and I get nothing inserted in C++.
This bug only appears to affect comment related autotexts. Ordinary code autotexts (like say, 'switch') work as expected. I can work around the problem by clicking the entry in the pop-up that appears, but taking your hands off the keyboard kind of defeats the purpose
My system information from the about box is as follows:
VA_X.dll file version 10.0.1214.0 Licensed to: VA4 License: DevEnv.exe version 7.10.3077.0 msenv.dll version 7.10.3077.0 Font: Courier New 13(Pixels) Comctl32.dll version 5.82.2800.1106 WindowsNT 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Single processor |

We can reproduce the errant behavior.
There is a nuance in the behavior of Autotext containing comments. In build 1214, VA X should force you to select such expansions with Tab, not Return. This behavior existed to accommodate the /* entry for Autotext and the frequent need to type /* and Return. In build 1215, we will rename the trouble-making Autotext entry and let Return select on all occasions.
We expect to fix the C# problem you report at the same time. |

When you type /* and Return in VS.NET, you get a new line and * on the new line. This happens without VA X enabled. This behavior of the IDE conflicts with our Autotext expansion in build 1214, hence your * on the second line.
We will make sure /* works as expected in build 1215. |
