When using Goto function, the menu often shows very strange entries with invalid line numbers. Note that it's often 0 or very big number. Rebuilding symbol databases and restarting IDE doesn't help.





BTW: After using Goto function, when I come back to the file from whish I used Goto, the cursor is usually moved to the beginning of line. It's very annoying, especially when VA jump to a wrong location. I'd like it to stay in the column it was before using Goto.

Just found another bug with Goto: after using Goto (just to show menu) on a symbol, move the cursor to another symbol and call Goto again - it will show menu for the previous symbol. Call Goto again - now it shows the correct list (at least for the correct symbols).

Strange line numbers bug is fixed in 1204.
Showing menu for the previous symbol fixed in 1204.

Moving cursor to the beginning of line still in 1205. To reproduce:
1. put the cursor at a symbol
2. press Alt+G to show the menu
3. press Enter to jump to the definition
4. press Ctrl+Tab to go back - the cursor is at the beginning of the line
It happens only when you have more than one definition, so the menu shows up.
In case there is only one definition, another bug activates:
1. put the cursor at a symbol
2. press Alt+G to jump to the only definition
3. quickly press Ctrl+Tab to go back
4. quickly press Alt+G again - you will go to the definition again, but the contents won't be scrolled properly (the definition will be at the bottom of the screen) and you will have activated the main menu (just like you would have only pressed Alt key alone), so you'll have to press Esc to put the cursor back in the source windows. Sometimes it happens also with the first use of Alt+G, but the steps above are easy to reproduce.
I'm using VS6.

I really dislike the display of the definition and the location in the Goto menu. It is even worse than having no path shown as before.

Don't agree - I want to see the path, it's quite useful for me.

Yes, the path was my original idea, but the definition makes it hard to find the path.

So what about applying coloring to the goto list (after making it similar to IntelliSense lists)?
