I have a weird bug with the spell checker in VS6. I can't get it to reproduce reliably, but it happens about 20-50% of the times. A simple example:
<new line>
<new line>
"The operatio was successfu."
<new line>
<new line>
I run the spell checker, it asks to correct "operatio" to "operation" and I accept, then "successfu" to "successful" and I accept, then it detects another spelling error. The text it is trying to correct is "ccessful", and the selection extends past the end of the line. Kind of like this:
The operation was successful.["<blank selection>]
I would post a screenshot, but don't know how...
Couldn't get it to repro on VS2003.
Also, I can't get the underlining of comments and strings to work reliably (both in VS6 and 2003). I could not get the strings to be underlined without turning the symbols option also on, ever. When I have both options on sometimes I get underlines, sometimes not. For some files I get symbols underlined, but not strings or comments. For other files when I Ctrl+Tab into them the underlines appear, then disappear after a moment. If I start scrolling up/down sometimes they come back. Also, the underlines never appear before I start typing, and they never appear for such text: _T("<text with errors>").
Has anyone else seen such problems?
I'm using the latest VA build: 10.2.1440.0

to post a screen shot either email the screen shot to [email protected] , referencing this thread in the email, or upload the picture to a web host and link to it from here.
personally i just upload screen shots to http://photobucket.com/ i don't know how this site compares to others, but it does what i need.
i have not got exactly the effect you report, but i am seeing some odd highlighting effects with the spell checker using your example
case=1004
i see the same thing, comment errors are not underlined unless mistyped symbol underlining is also turned on
case=1005
so far i am not seeing any problems with this being inconsistent / difficult to trigger though. the underlining will not start happening in a file until you have made some edits in that file, this is an optimisation to try and speed up VA / reduce the CPU load when you are loading but not editing a lot of files.
as for _T(), try pasting the following test function into a cpp file:
static void spellingCheck()
{
char *pszTest = _T("this stringgg has some spellling errors");
bool b = strcmp("hello", "i have spellling errrrros");
}
it seems that spelling errors in _T() are underlined, but only if they are also present in strings outside of _T().
case=1006 |

"so far i am not seeing any problems with this being inconsistent / difficult to trigger though."
Yes, now I understand the logic - I have to start typing first, I have to turn the symbols on too, and the text cannot be inside of _T(). Until I identified the 3 conditions it all seemed so random and inconsistent :)
The other thing is Ctrl+Tabbing from one file to another. The symbol underlines stay on, but the string underlines disappear quickly. If I Alt+Tab to another app and back the strin underlines appear again. So you are not seeing that? |

teasing apart the various elements can be quite an art at times  |

Fixed in 1524:
Underlining of spelling errors no longer requires underlining of mistyped symbols. (case=1005) |
