StrokeIt is a mouse gestures application for Windows. When in operation a right mouse button hold will trigger the drawing of a gesture. Ctrl + Right Mouse button overrides this behavior. When a gesture is being drawn, it is literally drawn on the screen and the system tray icon for StrokeIt turns blue.
When Visual Studio is running with Visual Assist X enabled and after a Visual Assist Prompt has been shown, StrokeIt can no longer draw the gesture on the screen for some reason. The icon still becomes blue and the gestures are recognized, however there is no On Screen Display.
Disabling Visual Assist X and restarting Visual Studio alleviates this problem, as does running Visual Studio without Visual Assist X. Only when Visual Studio is running with Visual Assist X does this behavior occur.
Steps to Reproduce: 1) Install StrokeIt 2) Making sure Visual Studio is closed, hold the right mouse button and move the mouse to see the OSD for stroke it. 3) Open Visual Studio with Visual Assist X enabled 4) Do something to get a Visual Assist X autocomplete prompt (#include for example) 5) Repeat step 2, however there will be no OSD
No, canceling the autocomplete/intellisense boxes doesn't fix it. A side note, the default intelisense does not cause any problems (disabled Visual Assist X to test the default intelisense. Using builtin intelisense or canceling it with ESC both allow the OSD to function properly.)
