Using Find References in a MsDev 6.0 Environment sometimes clears my workspace window. I found no way to reanable displaying of the content. I tried disable/enable workspace window; close "find references" window a new "Find References" command.
Closing the workspace and reopen lead to 100% cpu usage for the msdev process (the thread name is not very helpfull: !CreateThread+0x38)

edit:
terminating the msdev process and reloading the workspace didn't help. i had to delete the ncb file to fix this, so it's verry likly that this action corrupted the ncb file in some way (maybe by the ide itself, but definitly triggered through the "Find References" command)

it is possible that the IDE is corrupting the ncb file on its own. unfortunately this is a known problem, and can quite happily happen even without VA installed.

however it does rather sound like find references is a factor here, but that does not make a lot of sense, since find references should be "read only".

if you never rely on the IDE's intellisense

VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense

is set to no, then you could try creating a zero length read only ncb file with the IDE closed. this will stop the IDE building the ncb file, so it will never become corrupt. i normally do this myself, due to occasional corruption problems with this file.

Depending on what you mean by "clears my workspace window" this topic http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3836&SearchTerms=empty,workspace might be of some help.
