VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1555.0 built 2007.04.26
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.3.2.0
VATE.dll version 1.0.5.4
DevEnv.exe version 7.10.6030.0
msenv.dll version 7.10.6030.0
Comctl32.dll version 5.82.2900.2982
Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2
I've notices under this version now that when the Suggestion list appears it will just disappear even before I can make my selection. I haven't moved the mouse or even touched a key.
I can't repeat it under any specific conditions, it seems totally random.

I'm having the same problem. But it also happens when I'm trying to select something from the suggestion list. For example I want to select the 4th item and while moving the cursor from the 1st item down to the 4th the list closes occasionally. Sometimes I manage to move the cursor on the wanted item, but when I'm about to hit 'enter' the list disappears again, so that the 'return' is added to the source code.
VS2005, WinXP, no other add-ins.
Regards,
Marcus. |

Is this a new problem, or have you been seeing this problem before?
How often does this happen? all the time? 50% of the time? 1 time in 20?
I have seen suggestion listboxes disappear very occasionally, but for me this is a very rare event, and it only tends to happen just after they have appeared, not when I am trying to select something. |

I can't tell it exactly. It's a rather new problem, definitively >= 155x. I get it quite often, maybe once in 5 times. I'm not sure, but I have the feeling that it happens more often after switching to another file.
I'm sorry for not being of much help here. The problems I'm facing at the moment all happen occasionally, so I can't even guess what might be the reason for them.
Regards,
Marcus. |

| I can't really say how often this happens. Yesterday it was happening very often (maybe 1 in 5 or more). But today I haven't seen it happen once. |

I have faced this problem also...
I have worked with the default settings (so suggestions are not selected by default) and sometimes after I press down arrow to select an item in suggestion list, it disappears before I pressing enter.
Can't you place a lot of logging around suggestion list closing?  It is a recurring problem, and should kill it forever 
For a pattern: it may happening on certain source files, because sometimes it happening 2 times successive on the same location. |

Logging has got to be worth a try. Next time someone starts seeing this happen on a regular basis can you please turn on VA's logging, reproduce the problem, and then quit the IDE to keep the log files nice and small.
This FAQ explains sending us the log files:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W305
We can then look at the log's and see if they offer any clues. If not I will see about adding extra logging to try and pin down what is happening.
The fact this only happens some of the time suggests something is triggering this problem, but what? |

VAX 1555 in eVC 4.0: I'm seeing this fairly regularly. Seems to have started in 1555 or otherwise very near there. When I begin typing I'll get a suggestion box with the "A" symbol (autotext?), but then it almost immediately disappears. Seems to happen maybe 25% of the time(?) Another very annoying regression.

*sigh* but why, what is triggering this problem? Using win2k, EVC++4 and VA 1555 I have just typed in the following code:
static void testAutotextSuggestions()
{
true;
false;
for ()
{
}
while ()
{
}
if ()
{
}
std::string *foo = dynamic_cast<std::string *>(bar);
if(foo)
{
}
// [5/9/2007 Feline]
switch()
{
case :
break;
default:
break;
}
switch()
{
case :
break;
case :
break;
default:
break;
}
TRUE;
FALSE;
}
everything inside the function came from autotext. I left each of the autotext prompts on the screen for 1 or 2 seconds minimum, often longer, before accepting them.
None of them disappeared, and all of them were entered correctly. I should have seen at least one problem if I was seeing your problem.
Do you have any other IDE plugin's installed?
I am wondering if there is a connection with the problem you are seeing in this thread: http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6205
It is almost as if something is "interrupting" VA / the IDE on a regular basis. |

| I've been having this problem for months now, including every version between now and then. I brought it up in a previous thread. I can't offer any ideas, but sometimes it's very bad and other times it isn't. This has to be my biggest complaint about VAX. It would be great if you could figure it out :). |

I ran filemon to see what's going on when the suggestion list dissapears. This is what was showing up. It may be nothing important, but VAX seems to be 'querying' these 2 files a whole bunch....

I have just run filemon here, and I am seeing a lot of activity on these files as well, but I am not having any noticeable problems with my suggestion listboxes. *sigh* this is probably a red herring.
Do you work on more than one solution in VS2005? I am wondering if this problem is solution specific.
I am wondering if for some reason VA re-parsing the file is causing you a problem. This happens shortly after modifying it, so this is an event that should trigger on a regular basis while pausing typing and considering a listbox.
However this does not effect most people, so this theory only makes sense if there is something "odd" about your system. Is the code on a network drive? Or accessed via a "subst" drive letter?
I am looking for anything about your situation that might give us some clues. |

I started a new project and wrote a little code. It all works great. I couldn't get the suggestion list to go away for anything. Then I opened my existing project ( around 1000 files maybe), and the first time I tried:
'this->'
the box dissapeared after 2 seconds. I opened up another file, and did the same thing, it happened again. Maybe the problem is related to larger files? Maybe I should try opening some sort of open source project so that you can duplicate my efforts? |

I have used suggestion list's on large projects myself and never seen them disappear like this. But obviously something is going on here.
When looking for a common project to use I tend to point people here:
http://www.codeproject.com/tools/todolist2.asp
but this may not be large enough. Still it might be a good place to start. |

Now this is getting crazy .
I've a really big project I'm working on (3500 files not including library references) and that is where I see it the most. I was seeing it almost every time the list opened recently. So I figured this would be a great time to generate a log.
Well you think this bug is a photon or something, as soon as I turned on the log it stopped disappearing.

*sigh* various of our users work on solutions this big and bigger, I did myself for a time, and I did not have this problem. So solution size on its own should not be the problem. Of course this raises the question, what is the problem?
I really dislike bugs like this, since they are so hard to try and pin down / help with. Any clues would be gratefully received. |

We have a solution with 22 projects and a bit less than 3000 files. I still face the problem every day, but every time I tried to reproduce it for logging reasons, it didn't showed up. The problem seems only to appear for me if I'm truly programming, i.e., if I'm coding quite eagerly. But the problem is not bound to large files. It also happens for me within header files that have only 125 lines of code.

Marcus. |

We should have a new build up in the next few days, can you hold on and try that one? I encountered a problem with completion listboxes disappearing on an internal build that I was able to reproduce. I am hoping that the fix for that problem, which will be in the next build will help you.
I don't know if it will or not, but it is somewhere to start. |

I've been working with 1557 for two days now. As far as I know, I didn't face the problem in this period. So I guess it's working now. Thank you! This bug was really annoying

I've been using this for about 3 days now and everything seems great.

This is not supposed to be happening in any version, certainly not 1649.
Does this happen on multiple machines?
Is there any form of pattern to this?
Which programming language are you working in?
Do you have any other IDE plugin's installed? |

Suggestion List disappears
