I just installed 1297 and started working on a VC++ project in VS2003.

In several occasions (don't have a pattern yet) the completion function of VAX (triggered through TAB or RETURN) clears all characters of the identifier so far. E.g.

I type:

while(GetMes<TAB> // and I am left with:

while(

The GetMes has been replaced with two spaces.

My best way to reproduce this is to enter while(GetMes // and now press ESC to close the completion combo box. Place the cursor at the end of this line and press Strg-Space. Now press TAB or RETURN and the GetMes should be replaces with two spaces.
This happens also during normal typing but as I said I don't have a pattern how to reproduce that.

i have never had this problem, and i use CTRL_SPACE a lot, in all manor of places in my code.

i am not quite sure about your best way to reproduce this, so i have setup the line of code:


    while(GetMes|  // doing something


i have just checked this 10 times in a row in a C++ project, using .NET 2003 and VAX 1293

each time i place the caret as indicated, press ctrl_space to get the VAX suggestion list and then i either use Tab or Enter to accept the suggestion. every time GetMessage() complete with brackets has been inserted.

do you have any other plugin's installed?

if you can get this to happen fairly regularly can you try it in a new project? it could be something about the project settings or include files. definetly grasping at straws, but i am not sure what else to suggest right now.

*doh* i didn't realise at first that you were running 1297, my mistake.

repeating exactly the same test as before this time with 1297 and i am seeing "GetMes" disappear on accepting the suggestion 100% of the time.

Up to now my workaround is to stay with 1293. So your results with the two versions totally match with my experience.
I read through all the tips of 1297 and according to the history there are no other differences between 1293 and 1297 which seem worth mentioning.

Thanks,

I am having the same problem with 1297. I can see the replacement text
briefly flash on the screen but in the end I only have some spaces.

i have put this in as an urgent bug. for now the best work around seems to be to go back to 1293 if this is happening to you.

This is happening to me as well. Only it happens *every time* for me for tab or enter. :(

Running VS2003 with build 1298.

EDIT: as with the others, going back to 1293 fixes it...

i have discovered turning off the VAX option:

text editor -> listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense

stops this from happening when using VAX 1297. hopefully this will help in the short term.

I did try this with 1298 and it didn't fix it.

1293 has a few other annoying bugs that I wasn't noticing with 1298 (double calltips, one in black and one with VAX's coloration, to name one) and I'd really like to get back to using it. Can you provide an update on this issue getting resolved?

Thanks!
