I'm using VA.X 1534 and I have a .h C++ file, in which VA.X prevents me from typing an opening bracket "(". I have to disable VA.X to get it to work...

Any ideas ?

We copy your sample code into VS2005 and can type ( as expected.

Is the problem specific only to this file? If so, can you zip and email it to us?

Is the problem specific to a location in the file?

Can you tell us what you type prior to the paren? Is there a listbox open at the time?

Yes, it is (was) specific to this file. But now, after restarting VS, it works fine again. I had the same problem in the past, using the same file. The code I posted is the complete content of the file, except the a missing copyright notice at the top.

We suspect the problem might not be related to the file so you look for something common in what you did when the glitch occurs.

I have seen this frequently. The "(" is actually being received, it just ends up at some other point in the file, or up in one of the VAX combo boxes at the top. I think it may relate to the cursor location not being updated properly, but I'm not sure.

I also think it may be related to both the file and some "bad action" in that file. If you close all instances of the file and reopen it, the problem goes away, but not until then. I have theorized that is related to typing invalid syntax, but I have no evidence to support this theory yet.

I've seen this too. Not sure what caused it, but I found the text I had typed ended up in a different file window - the previous one I had been editing.

Cheers,

Ian

I've already post a topic on this bug, but it seem to have been deleted.
I've found that the parenthesis was inserted in another opened file...
close all files (not the project) and reopen it and I think it will be good for '('

has anyone ever seen any sort of pattern to these problems?
anything that seems to trigger them happening?

It started just after I type '{' and immediatly a '('
(i know, this is stupid).
to correct the pb, I close my file, and reopen.
But I cannot reproduce it anymore :(

Today, I got a new thing that is probably related to this pb.
'(' do not work... a yesterday morning, it's ok.
but today I see for the first time that Autotext is inserted in a bad file... the same file as '('.

If I close my file and reopen every thing is ok.

eco, which language, IDE and version of VA are you using?

i don't think this has ever happened to me, but i have seen it reported before.
are you shutting down or rebooting you workstation? or is it staying on all of the time?

do you have any idea why one day would be different to another?
