Font in the code is getting mangled something like euro fonts or something - for lack of a better term, high-ascii-unicode. Lots of unlates and stuff. Not perminate, if I move the cursor the view repaints and it changes back.
Seeing this randomly, and no, not able to make it happen. I have seen it occur when alt-tabbing VS2003 from another process, and when double-clicking on the .cs file. I also *think* I'm seeing it when it does some inter-line formatting, in that the text flickers in that area.

What IDE do you have? What build of VA X? Can we assume only in C#? What font and font size? Any language extensions installed?

Can you post or send a small screen shot to [email protected]?

I too am having the same problem with build 1218. I am running VC 6sp5 and Windows XP (with all the latest SPs as of this post)

I am not able to reliably recreate the problem, but it has happened 2x in the last hour. To describe what is happening is that the text seems to change. it's as if every other pixel on the screen is missing. If I were to click in the middle of a word and start typing, my text will appear a few characters down from where I clicked..

If I turn off VA, everything draws correctly and if I turn it back on, it goes back to the problem. if I disable font colors the problem goes away also.

the only way I know of to fix it is to restart VC.

I just upgraded to build 1219 and am experiencing the same problem.

If I disable "Color Syntax Highlighting" the problem vanishs, but so does my VA syntax highlighting.

It happened when I had hit "F1" for help. I don't know if this was the cause because i've been able to hit F1 many times before without this happening. Help was already loaded also, it didnt have to open.

I just witnessed the bug in progress.. it happened when I switched back from an open MSDN help window into VC, when the VC screen refreshed, all the text was mangled.

I too have seen this problem very briefly. or I should say it only maintained the odd state until I did something. i.e. clicked in the window. I got this problem in an earlier build. 1216 I think. At the time I didn't think it was VA X related. It happened when I was debugging. I believe it had just hit an ASSERT, or threw an unhandled exception. The IDE had just gained the focus. I haven't seen it for a while though.
