Hi,
I have been frustrated by the behavior of "Surround selection on {". Often, I will have a chunk of code I want to surround in an if statement or expand a single line if statement to multiple lines. When I select the line and type "{", VAX almost always places the second bracket with the wrong indention. It seems to depend partly on the direction I highlighted the text and partly on some random condition. Here is an example to demonstrate:
(My commends in red)
For larger chunks of selected text, the second bracket is not indented at all (just appears on the first column of the line). This unreliable behavior renders the surround feature next to useless because you must manually fix it afterwards.
VAX/OS Info:
VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1548.0 built 2007.02.23
Licensed to:

After finding the bug report guidelines, I forgot to mention that I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++ Service Pack 1 and I have Comment Reflower (http://commentreflower.sourceforge.net) and Project Line Counter (http://www.wndtabs.com/products/project_line_counter/line_counter_overview.html) installed.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,

Unfortunately this is a known problem. It is in our list of things to fix, but I do not know when this will be fixed.
case=1521
For now I recommend selecting left to right, or preferably whole lines top to bottom. Sometimes having the caret at the start of a selected block, rather than the end, can confuse VA. The fact we are sneaking around behind the IDE does not help. |
