Using: Visual Studio.NET 2003

Steps to reproduce:
I don't know if it matters, but use code that creates a window. Edit the code, then run your project in the Debugger. Interact with your project's window, then exit your app. When VS ends debug mode, select a piece of code in your project by double-clicking it. Start typing to replace the selected code. You'll notice that after the first character is typed, the caret jumps to a random location (usually higher) on the page. Sometimes it will insert random characters in other open files in the project.

i have never seen this, and i often edit my code while the program is running.

are you using C++? if so is this MFC window code? i don't use MFC, but i don't see why this would be relevant off hand.

does this only happen in one project? do you have more than one set of window code where you can try this? i have seen reports of this sort of problem before, but so far i have never been able to recreate the problem on demand.

This sort of error has been reported for several months but is still very common. It happens to me at least once a day. But I haven't particularly associated it with editing while debugging, myself. It seems to me to be most common when you have to check out the file from source control; or when you overtpe a selection, or do a surround selection.

I get this alot as well. If it's the same problem I'm getting, the cursor isn't moving to a random location - it's moving to the position of the cursor from the previously active file (naturally both files must be open at the same time). This happens when I activate a file [by clicking the tab for that file] and start typing without first doing some action that resets the VA X context location for the newly active file (i.e. something that would also cause the context drop-down to update itself with the current location of the cursor).

what could possibly go wrong? :D

Do the problems occur only in certain files, or only in files with something in common?

We suspect performance of VA X might be an issue.

I have never noticed anything particular about the files in which this occurs.
