Bit of an obscure one - and not entirely important..anyway.

I'm using VS.NET 2003, found that sometimes matched braces/brackets are incorrectly drawn. Here's how to reproduce

1. Open a source file with more than one brace/bracket pair.
2. Make sure the toolbox or server explorer or some other tool window is set to 'slide out' when you click on its docked tab.
3. Place the cursor in the source file so it highlights a brace/bracket pair.
4. Click on a tool window tab so it slides out.
5. Click on the source window **outside** the highlighted brace/bracket pair and inside another pair.
6. Press a cursor key.
7. You should now see two sets of braces/brackets highlighted.

Looks like the focus changes are messing up the drawing code?

Anyway - here's my VAX info:

I believe this is:

case=2263

It was originally reported when swapping between the IDE and some other program, but it looks like the docked windows in the IDE are having the same effect.

Sometimes finding the right thread can be tricky. I remembered this, but it still took a little while to find the bug report for it
