A small bug: if I use find references for a member variable and then pressing F8 several times to jump to references then in some page references will not highlighted, but if I scrolling out the page, and then back, the references will be highlighted.

VAX 1540, WinXP, VS2003
I am using "VA Find References Results" as a docked window.

(Maybe sometimes VAX highlighting references too early BEFORE VS completelly refreshes the editor window? Maybe a small delay before highlighting could help?)

It took a bit of fiddling, but I found a reproducible test case. Interestingly for me when this happens one of the visible references is highlighted, one is selected, and two are not highlighted.

case=3672

Is it any progress on this?

This case got worse in last one or two build (around 1548-1549), and it is very annoying.
Highlights "randomly" disappearing-appearing while I am stepping trought the references by pressing F8.

Find references is a very good feature, hope you can fix this case sooner or later

No progress to report yet, so I have bumped the priority on this for you. Based on a simple test here 1549 does seem worse at this than 1544 when using F8.

Personally I have assigned a keyboard shortcut to opening Find References Results, and moving through the list like this does not seem to upset the highlighting quite so much.

It is ultra stable if I stepping through references in the same file.
But when the jump switches to an another file, it sometimes does not works.

Easy to reproduce: if you have a file where you have more than one references in the same page and you switch to it by F8, the highlight won't work always.

Some pages will always work, but most of them will not.

I am seeing the same effect here. Interestingly I see the same problem, when changing files, in VA 1626:

case=3672

It is good to know that this is much more reliable while working in a single file
