Build: Visual Studio 2003 -- 7.10.3077
VisualAssistX -- 10.0.1246
Language in use: C# Windows Form application
No changes in options were made to the Autotext/Template
Local symbols in BOLD.
Stable symbolds in Italic.
When bringing up one of the code files in the project, the end of the namespace for the type is clipped by the variable name. The clipping stops when text is selected and highlighted.
I can email a screen shot upon request.
In further testing I have found the bug can be easily recreated by just setting the above options and create the following private variable:
private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem
The last 'm' in MenuItem will be clipped regardless of the number of spaces displayed after it. The same is true when doing a MessageBox.Show() where the 'w' will be clipped as well. |

do you mean something similar to the end of tempnam in the attached screen shots?
this is happening since VAX is "forcing" VS .NET to show text in italics. at a guess VAX is doing its own drawing into the rectangular space taken up by tempnam. without going outside of this space, you have to clip the end of the last letter, since the italic'ness pushes you outside of the border.

A nice font with which "Stable symbols in Italics" works pretty well is Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (http://www.december14.net/fonts.shtml).
It's based on Andale Mono, has a slash through the 0 (zero) and looks like this:
Fell in love with it and use it in VS .NET and VS 6.0. |

a nice looking font 
*follows the link and downloads the font*
*grrr* VS .NET 2003 refuses to let me select "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" for a font.
the nearest option i have is "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Bold". since this is already bold, this wipes out VAX's ability to mark local symbols in bold 
i have restarted the IDE, but this hasn't made any difference. i downloaded and installed the "VeraSansMono" pack on its own. any ideas on how i can fix this? from your screen shot you have managed to use the non bold font, and have bold local symbols.
im MS Word i can select "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" but not "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Bold".
there are times when i think very rude thoughts about windows  |

| ahha! delete all of the "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" variant fonts, then i can set this to the the VS font, then i can reinstall the variants. now time to settle down and see what i think of this font in practice |

I had the same problems like you.
VS 6.0 did NOT have this problem (here at work), but as I got my new Hardware, I had to reinstall XP and it suddenly worked in VS .Net (at home) from scratch... |

we are having problems picking a font from one of VS's dialogs...
it makes you wonder how VAX italic, bold and coloured words works at all, let alone so well  |
