I see an extension collision in VS 2010 C# with VAX 1850 and Productivity Power Tools when using Indexers []. See http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10050 for a similar case.

The intellisense tooltip for an indexer closes almost instantly when I have both VAX and PowerTools enabled. To reproduce this in a VS 2010 C# project please type:

System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection c;
c[

After typing "[" the intellisense tooltip is shown for a second and disappears again. Navigating a list of overloaded indexer signatures with key-up/down is not possible.

I hope you can reproduce and fix this.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

case=58774

Interestingly, I am seeing the problem even without the PPT installed.

Maybe another conflicting extension?

Sometimes I think the older (more complicated and/or less documented) VS extension model was better because there were less people trying to integrate which resulted in less potential for conflicts

Only VA was installed on that machine. I mean it seems to be a "bug" rather than a "conflict"

Strange. Just verified that on my machine with VAX 1850 in VS 2010 SP1 (10.0.40219.1) without PPT the tooltips and the cursor-navigation works...

Nevertheless it sounds nice that its more a bug than a conflict.

With 1854 I see that after typing:

System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection c;
c[

I get no tooltip, but by pressing backspace and [ again I get the working intellisense tooltip.
If I delete the line with c[, create a new line and type c[ again, there is no tooltip. Use backspace and typ [ again gives the tooltip.

Kinda even odd problem

As you said, doesn't seem to be PPT related.

Yes, I had also seen these cases and noted them in the case.
But thank you for the feedback nonetheless.
