Hi
I have a strange problem with Intellisense on variables. When I press the "." key to get the list of members, the listview pops-up for a fraction of a second, then disappears. If I delete the "." and type it again the listview usually, but not always, appears. Within three or four tries it usually works.
I have the "Get content from default Intellisense" enabled, but changing that option doesn't fix the problem.
Here's the About info:

Which programming language are you working in?
Do you have any other addin's installed?
I recall seeing something similar, but that bug was fixed a couple of builds ago.
If you position the caret after the dot and press CTRL-SPACE does this make any difference? |

I'm using C#, no other add-ins installed.
Pressing Ctrl-Space gives the same behaviour - sometimes it appears, other times it doesn't.
I've seen this problem on both windows 2000 and windows xp, incidentally. It can occur or any of my projects, regardless of size. |

| I've just noticed something else that might help. It seems that the the problem occurs the first time I move to a particular line and try "."/Ctrl-space. I think it's connected to the two drop-down combo boxes that Visual Assist adds below the editor's tabs. I see them flicker, with the name of the file/method/variable appearing, then being replaced with a "u" character, then back to file/method/variable and then back to "u". When I successfully get the Intellisense listview to appear, the combo boxes are filled in correctly, when I don't they contain the "u" character (and it is a "u", not an accented non-ASCII character). |

Can you try turning off:
VA Options -> Advanced -> General -> View Context and Definition fields
and see if this makes any difference? This will hide these two fields that you are seeing flicker.
Can you try making a new, default C# console project, and see if you see the same problem there, using just basic code, e.g.
void TestListAfterDot()
{
string name;
name.|
}
I am wondering if somehow something in your current project is confusing VA. |

| Disabling the Context/Definition fields does seem to remove the problem. Also, I was unable to reproduce the issue in the simple console app as suggested. However, I am able to reproduce it in a range of other projets, both simple and complex. |

This is very odd.
I have emailed you about this. |
