is causing uppercasing of ".f", ie when typing normally (not using cases, registers etc) it'd replace all ".f" with uppercase ".F"

wonder if anyone else having this and what was their solution

TIA

What build of VA X do you have?

What IDE and programming language?

What is a sample statement you type in which the problem occurs?

can you post a code snippet to show what you are doing? i have just inserted the following code:

float totalCount = 3.2f;
float movingAverage = 2.f;

using C++, VS 2003 and both VAX 1418 and 1301. in both versions of VAX f was left as f.

ok, it's not a clear case, go it to happen again in the following sequence:

1. typed "const float a = b"
2. arrow back to put cursor in front of b
3. type "(1.f-t)*"

latter .f will turn into .F

... and yes, i do not have a sticky shift or some trivial cause

how reproducible is this for you? occasionally? sometimes? 100% of the time?

i have just tried this test using VS 2003 and a C++ project under 3 different versions of VAX, 1293, 1301 and 1418

i am ending up with the code line:

const float a = (1.f-t)*b;

is this what you mean? i am not seeing this go wrong. do you have the time to try this in a different project?

do you have any other plugin's installed? if you have local symbols in bold and static symbols in italic turned on in VAX's options is VAX parsing the line as you are typing? for me the variable a is shown as bold if i pause even slightly in my typing, and when i finish typing the variable t is shown in italics.

when you say "later .f will turn into .F" how much later? is this as you type it? as you finish the line? a few seconds later?

it's not 100% of the time,
once you get it to happen it'll persist for all new text I type

project is relatively big, there're other plugins but none related to modifying/autocompletion

right-click symbol lookups take >1min, so if there's a lookup, it usually takes a few seconds for completion menu to pop up

problem is, i don't see any reason for it after a numeric

by right click symbol lookups do you mean right click "go to definition" and "go to declaration"? if so this is done by the IDE, VAX has nothing to do with it, and it tends to be very slow even on small projects.

you can force a completion menu more quickly with CTRL-SPACE. VAX tends to wait until it has something helpful to suggest before popping up a listbox.

are you able to disable all other plugin's and see if this makes any difference? sometimes strange interaction problems show up due to bugs in one or other plugin.
