VA_X.dll file version 10.0.1274.0
Licensed to:
VA X:
VA.NET 7.1:
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.2.0.4
DevEnv.exe version 7.10.3077.0
msenv.dll version 7.10.3077.0
Font: Courier New 13(Pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 5.82.2900.2180
WindowsNT 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
2 processors
Was finally able to reproduce the problem of the VAX right-click menu appearing for a split second and then disappearing as discussed in various threads,

I had it happen again to me today and am able to reproduce the phenomenon on my system.
If I double click a function call and then F1 to bring up the MSDN help, then go back to the source screen and <shift><right-click> the context menu does its disappearing act. And, does it for as long as the MSDN page is open. As soon as I close the MSDN, the context menu behaves normally. Further, when you click on the source tab to go back to the source page, the first <shift><right-click> comments out the function call that was selected previously....
Anyone else have this problem? |

Now wait a second, you click the right mousebotton with shift pressed and there is a "//" put in front of the line you clicked into automagically?
Now THAT is strange... and not reproducable on my system... |

Strange huh? It doesn't do the "//" it surrounds the selection with 'C' type comments, "/* */".
Were you able to reproduce the context menu disappearing? |

| What is still frustrating me about this problem is that once it occurs, I can no longer highlight any code in that file by simply doing a left click and drag. I have to close the file and then re-open it. |

Hmm.... interesting.... for me it comments out the selected text but I can still click-drag select text. |

Unfortunately, not yet...
Does Build 1278 still have this problem?
Any more clues that may help me in reproducing this behaviour? Any other AddIns installed? |

I've actually got 1780 (I think) installed at work and yes It's still happening. At least the part about the popup menu disappearing immediately after flashing on the screen.
I've never had the "//" surround that waday mentions though. |

Darn.... I installed build 1278, still have the same problem 
I also removed all other add-ins to make sure..... no change.
I do have DevPartner installed but not running. Other than that, just a basic stock system. Sorry can't be more help. |

| I also have DevPartner installed. Don't know if that has any bearing on the problem. Another developer in my office also has DevPartner installed on her machine and she also has the same problem. Could we be on to something here? |

We hate to ask the obvious, but can you unload DevPartner, assuming it appears in Add-in inside" Tools|Add-in Manager?" Uncheck the "Startup" box and restart your IDE.
We have a different problem if Devpartner installs as a "package," ala VSIP. Testing for a conflict of this type requires uninstalling DevPartner. |

| I have DevPartner Pro (v7.2.0.372, Patch 02) installed and haven't ever had any problems with context menus. VS 2003, VA 1280. DevPartner isn't installed as an Add-in, though. |

| DevPartner is not installed as an add-in, but I will uninstall it first chance I get to see if that helps. |

| Uninstalling DevPartner did not solve the problem. |
