If I have the caret on the word cCMUpgradeDlg (note that the first character is incorrectly lower-cased), and press Ctrl-Space, the listbox that appears (too weary to try to figure out its name), has the correct symbol (CCMUpgradeDlg) focused, but not selected. It should be selected - as it usually is - so that I can just hit return.

This is still driving me nuts - all the other VAX listboxes behave correctly, so this one is constantly causing me to insert the wrong thing...

We cannot reproduce the problem, likely because can cannot reproduce the scenario correctly.

Can you post a small screenshot of the listbox you see?

Do you have "Repair case" enabled on or Correction tab?

Do you have "Prefer default Intellisense" enabled on our Completion tab?

Listboxes with tomatoes are suggestion listboxes.
Listboxes after a dot are member listboxe.
Everything else is a completion listbox.

I've emailed you a screenshot of what I get when I do a CTRL-space in the middle of a misspelled symbol. It's an IDE listbox, though... but why am I not getting a VAX listbox?

"Repair case" is enabled.
"Prefer default Intellisense" is disabled.

Your assumption is correct. The listbox is from the MS, aka default Intellisense.

The "Prefer" option denotes a preference. Sigh.

In VS.NET, we let MS handle Ctrl+Space in the middle of a word in all cases. This is not because we do not know what to display, but rather how the IDE controls its undo buffer. We have yet to figure out how to insert in this case, and make Undo work after the fact.

VC++ 6.0 is different. Its Undo buffer is sane, or relatively sane. VA X can open a completion listbox in the middle of a symbol in VC++ 6.0.

Two issues:
Will VA X ever handle Ctrl+Space in the middle of a symbol in VS.NET?
Not sure.
ixBug=60

Why is current item in MS listbox not selected?
This happens when your current symbol, eg seqDupSeq, is not a valid symbol, or at least does not appear in the listbox.
