Visual studio crashed / asserted a lot in my machine, especially when debuggin. The message from the ActivityLo.xml is:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): External component has thrown an exception. at WholeTomatoSoftware.VisualAssist.Interop.VaManagedService.GetCommentFromPos(Int32 pos, Int32 alreadyHasComment, Int32& commentFlags) at by.a(SnapshotPoint A_0, Boolean A_1, Int32& A_2) at by.AugmentQuickInfoSession(IQuickInfoSession session, IList`1 quickInfoContent, ITrackingSpan& applicableToSpan) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Language.Intellisense.Implementation.QuickInfoSession.Recalculate() at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Language.Intellisense.Implementation.QuickInfoSession.Start() at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Language.Intellisense.Implementation.DefaultQuickInfoController.OnTextView_MouseHover(Object sender, MouseHoverEventArgs e) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Editor.Implementation.WpfTextView.RaiseHoverEvents()


Any idea?

Which version of VA are you using?

If you look at:

IDE Tools menu -> Extensions and Updates...

what extensions are listed on you system? On a full install of VS2012 with VA I have the following extensions listed:

Microsoft Web Developer Tools
NuGet Package Manager
Visual Assist
Visual Studio Extensions for Windows Library for JavaScript


if you have a different list of extensions that could be a factor.

Which programming language are you working in when this happens? Have you noticed any pattern to the crashes?

Yes, I have exactly the same list with you.

Looks like the problem happen when I enable the "Advanced Syntax Coloring". VS works fine with it off.

Most of time It happens when I was debugging (step in, step out) / RMB on variables to popup menu. Sometimes it happens even when I didn't do anyting.

At least this offers a temporary work around, which is keeping Enhanced Syntax Coloring turned off.

Which version of VA are you using?

Which colour theme do you have the IDE set to?

IDE Options -> Environment -> General -> Color theme

Next time this crash happens, can you please try and grab a mini dump of the IDE and send us the mini dump file? This page explains doing so:

https://wholetomato.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W303

Please submit the files via the form:

http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.
