If you select text, then Shift+Right Click, the VA menu doesn't pop up properly like it did with 1557. It flashes up for a fraction of a second, then disappears, probably removing the selection as well.

The solution is to right click in the breakpoint margin, if you have it enabled.

Which IDE are you using?

shift+right click removing the selection is a known bug we introduced into 1559:

case=7569

but for me the right click menu still appears as normal, it is just the selection is removed.

IDE: VS2005, not SP1.

Well it's working alright today -- so don't ask me what was going on there. Even restarting Visual Studio didn't fix it.

Anyway I hope you manage to make it work the old way; I have some autotext entries that use $selection$, and it's quicker to select with the mouse then not move it further than it is to select with the mouse then move it to the margin.

Thanks!

This has been fixed internally, and I would expect to see a fix in the next build.

As a temporary work around you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the command VAssistX.InsertAutotext
Not quite the same as working with the right click menu, but you may find this helps.

Hmm, I see this behavior in VAX 1557.

Odd. Which IDE are you using?

I have just double checked with VS2005 and VA 1557, I selected several lines of code and then shift+right clicked in the editor window, and the code remained selected when the VA context menu appeared.
