When using Visual Studio.Net over a remote desktop connection the screen flashes continually. This is a shame because it is how I usually use Visual Studio.
I have the same problem. It is easy to duplicate: Simply run VS.NET 2003 with VA.X build 1246 over a Remote Desktop connection, and do a little file editing. The display flickers like crazy. It makes VA.X unusable over Remote Desktop.
I tried closing the VA View and turning off the "View Context and Definition fields" checkbox, but it made no difference.
We noted the bug. Unfortunately, we suspect we will be unable to remove all of the flicker. Some of it is necessary since VA X hooks itself into an otherwise unsuspecting IDE.
Me too!!! I am experiencing the exact same issue that geary reports. I have VS .NET 2003, VA.X build 1246, and over Remote Desktop, the flicker in the editing window makes VA unusable.
The only thing that helps is to completely disable Visual Assist using the menu option "VAssistX > Enable/Disable Visual Assist X". After disabling VA, the nasty flicker goes away.
It sure would be nice if you guys could fix this... or if it's not completely fixable as suggested by support, maybe allow us to disable those features which contribute to the excessive flickering? Here's hoping you can improve this...
