I notice that sometime an empty suggestion box appears, and than no further entry is possible until I press ESC. I didn't found the consitent rule to repro this. Does anybody has the same problem?

Hello Martin,
I've seen this too. Further more if such a empty suggestion box appears, you can't always see it. Because it's only a border and no text. Could something be done about this too?
Thanks.
With kind regards, Patrick Luja |

Yes exactly. It's just a grey shaded border visible!

Do you have "Shrink..." enabled in the C/C++ node of our options dialog? If so, a member listbox goes empty when you type a character that fails to fit any of the entries in the then-current listbox. Backspace to restore the last state of the listbox.
If you say you get a listbox sized for multiple entries yet everything is blank, post or send us a small screen shot. We have not seen that problem. |

I have set "Shrink..." enabled! 1. In this situations mostly I wrote a valid statement. so at least one symbol should be visible. 2. The major problem is that I can not type any more chars, until I press ESC. Martin

Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the problem yet. Try to garner some clues as to the circumstances that make it happen.
Send or post a small screen shot. We still need to understand what you mean by an empty listbox. |

I'm not sure whether Wannabee is talking about the same thing as Martin and Patrick. But for what it's worth, I sometimes see suggestion boxes like Wannabee's, but with a questionable tomato icon. I frequently see suggestion boxes where the top item is blank like that but there are other non-blank items. |

They changed the Icon in between some of the last builds. Nowadays, I also have the tomato with a question mark (the screenshot is from an older build).
It comes up when you delete code while having the caret next to a ";", no matter if you delete with DEL-Key or Backspace-key. |

Now I found the problem. My description was wrong. It is possible to enter chars, when this empty box occurs. My problem was, that I tried to move to a different location with the cursor keys. But the cursor keys are accepted by this empty box. So I can not leave the position in the sourcecode.

I have also just seen the box that I think Martin and Patrick must have been talking about. It's as they said, just a border. Its height is very small, as if there were no suggestions but VA X decided to display a suggestion box with no rows anyway. |

The empty box I am seeing occurs as follows (or at least, this is one way it occurs). Consider the code snippetclass CFoo
{
void SomeFunction();
};
int main()
{
CFoo foo;
foo.Z
} When you type "foo." in the last line, a box appears offering the only valid choice, SomeFunction(). It's not a suggestion listbox but a member listbox. Now type Z. There are no valid choices beginning with Z, but the listbox doesn't go away — it just gets reduced to zero height.
At this point, up and down arrows don't do anything (presumably they're swallowed by the listbox). However, left and right arrows still work. Also, the listbox does disappear when left-bracket or semicolon are pressed.

Oh, I've just reread the whole thread. This is exactly what support described at the beginning. But I still think the box should go away when there are no items left to show. |
