I can't give you steps to repeat this, unfortunately, but I've noticed that occasionally (and after using Rename refactoring) the caret/cursor in the text edit window of VS2005 SP1 seems to disappear (it comes back by switching to a different C++ file to edit). You can still type, but the caret/cursor has gone. I don't recall this happening with a previous version.
Or it could just be my IDE.  |

Which IDE are you using?
Do you have any other plugin's installed?
Have you seen this more than once, or only once?
The fact you are seeing this so soon after the release of 1549 suggests a possible connection.
Have you turned on highlight current line? This should not be related, but it is possible. |

| I can say that on VS 2003 which suffered from caret/cursor disappearing when using multiple Ctrl-Z (VS2003 bug, not related to VAX), the introduction of highlighting for the current active line, eliminated the VS bug . |

IDE = VS2005 sp1.
OS = Win 2k
Addons = DevPartner Studio, DevPartner Fault simulator.
I think I have current line highlighting switched on
The disappearing caret/cursor happens, maybe once every couple of hours.
Like I said, can't say this is a bug for certain. |

That should not be happening. Can you try turning off highlighting the current line in VA please, and see if this makes any difference?
It is possible there is some form of interaction problem between these plugin's. You cannot stop a plugin loading from within the IDE in VS2005, but there is a registry key you can use to stop VA loading, which is explained here:

you may find similar keys exist for these other plugin's. If so can you try stopping them loading, to see if this makes any difference to this problem? |

1549: missing caret
