I use VAX with Visual Studio 6.0 on win2k SP4 box.
I've been using stable VA builds (<= 1446) for a while and never experienced the following problems, only after installing 1522:

1. Inside any function body, after typing a namespace name (reproduces constantly with std namespace, for instance) and putting first colon typing the second colon produces not that namespace members list but immediately inserts(!) some item from suggestion list, so instead of getting

std::

with std members list I get something like:

std:SOME_BOGUS_SYMBOL:

that is really annoying as I have to erase that crap and write required member myself:(

2. Another problem is that I can't make VA to list variable members correctly from time to time. Once again it constantly reproduses in the following situation:

std::string xxx;
xxx.c_s

typing continuously the code above does not result in the listbox containing desired "c_str()" but containing stuff like "basic_string" and some other std string classes:(

i see a similar behavior when i try to write the constructor initializer list, e.g.
CTest::CTest():<here a list with all methods and statics of CTest appears><pressing space accepts the first entry>

i wouldn't expect this list in this situation.
also note that i haven't selected "Display Suggestion lists and accept with: Any character not valid in a symbol"

that is certainly related, but i am not certain if it is the same bug at work or not, so i have put in a new bug report for this

case=1355

schoenherr can you confirm that you are using VC6? i can reproduce this in VC6, but not in VS2003

I have a similar problem with build 1524. Easy to reproduce: Set up new dialog-based application with wizzard. Add a new member to the dialog class: int m_xBla. Go to the implementation of, e.g., OnInitDialog(). Type m_x<Ctrl+Tab>. Then I get a lot of strange suggestions with a blue book symbol in the front, e.g., m_xDropSource, m_xDropTarget, m_xInnerUnknown, etc. that I've never ever seen before. Moreover, m_xBla is not in the suggestion list.

I'm using VC6, Win XP, no further add-ins.

Regards,
Marcus.

khb it looks like i am seeing the same thing, plus several other odd effects. thank you for the clear instructions, this always helps.

i suspect something slightly different is going on here, due to the book icons, but it may be the same underlying problem. for ease i have raised a new case for this.

case=1399

I'd like to ask if there's already a schedule when case 1399 is going to be fixed. I run in the problem very often and it's a bit annoying...
