Visual Studio .NET 2003, C#, VA build 1278 and 1279

When only the member list box should appear, both member list box and suggestion list box. Accepting causes both suggestions to be written, causing garbled overlapped output

Expected behaviour is suggestion list box does not appear after dot... unless I am missing something.

Turning off "Display suggestion lists..." fixes the issue.

This bug also occurs in 1279.

No amount of reinstallation fixes the issue. Tried on multiple computers and operating systems, exact same problem.

Do you have any other addins installed? Anything unusual about your setup? Can you send your About info from the VA options dialog to [email protected].

Thanks,

An idea just came to me: perhaps it happens when there is a local variable with the same name as the member.

Steps to reproduce

01 Start VS (suggestions turned off)
02 Test: no problem
03 Turn on suggestions
04 Test: no problem
05 Close VS
06 Start VS (suggestions turned on)
07 Test: two list boxes appear
08 Turn off suggestions
09 Test: no problem
10 Turn on suggestions
11 Test: no problem

So another possible cause is the settings code is at fault. The suggestions option appears to have three states rather than just on/off.

No other addins, nothing unusual.

There are multiple projects in the solution, but there are no conflicting/ambiguous type names.

i have tried this, but i am not getting the problem. since you are getting both type of listbox appear, i am guessing your "suggestions turned off state" is:

"display suggestions and accept with:" = on
"tab" = off
"enter" = on
"any character not valid in a symbol" = off
"include bits of code from surrounding lines" = off
"include autotext" = off


and that your "suggestions turned on" state is:

"display suggestions and accept with:" = on
"tab" = off
"enter" = on
"any character not valid in a symbol" = off
"include bits of code from surrounding lines" = on
"include autotext" = on


is this right? the other option, everything turned off, or just show suggestions and accept with enter turned on would be even more strange, since you should never get the surrounding code suggestions.

In 10.1, VA should be handling both the VA suggestions and the VS.NET members list. However the members list in your image is NOT VA's, it looks like the standard members box. So the question is what is different on your systems that is preventing VA from overriding the standard members list box?

Any other addins installed? Can you send your About info from the VA options dialog to [email protected]?
