If I press ESC in IDE's editor to turn off highlight references, the feature turns off, but the checkbox remains checked.
Sorry about reporting a bug in a not released version, but I am using 1611, so cannot check in 1609. Maybe applies. Maybe helps.
Using VAX 1611 and VS2005 SP1 on C++ code.
WinXP SP2 |

This is by design. Just because you have turned off highlighting temporarily we do not assume you always want it turned off.
Try turning off:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Refactoring -> Highlight references using
This way VA assumes you do not want highlighting by default, which is probably closer to what you want. |

I have not turned on
"VA Options -> Advanced -> Refactoring -> Highlight references using"
You are not understand me. When I press ESC, the checkbox remains checked in the docked find references window. I am NOT talking about the next find references command...
So, after ESC, if I click on this checkbox, it will uncheck itself, and the highlight will turn on again. So it will produce inverted behavior: when I turn off VAX will highlight, and when I turn on again, VAX will disable highlighting.
Update: I thought it is a regression. But maybe it was the same in 15xx series |

I am using win2k, VS2005 SP1, VA 1609
I have pinned Find References Results so it stays open, at the bottom of the screen.
"VA Options -> Advanced -> Refactoring -> Highlight references using" = Turned off
Sitting in a header file I run Find References on a class name.
No highlighting is applied in the source code.
I tick the check box "Highlight all" in the Find References Results window with the mouse
I click into the editor with the mouse, to make sure keyboard focus is here.
The class name is highlighted by VA
I press Escape, the highlighting is removed and the checkbox in Find References Results is unchecked.
Is your Find References Results pinned open, or set to auto hide?
I am not sure why I am seeing something different to you. |

| Additional info, it may helps: I keep find references window on my secondary monitor. I have docked VA find references to a floating window in my secondary monitor (so NOT into the main window of the VS IDE). |

Got it. As soon as I set my Find References Results window to floating I am seeing the same thing:
case=9364 |
