• Dialog: "Please place the caret on a symbol before running Find". I placed carret on symbol, but i really don't know when VA can't find references. I propose to remove this message box. If VA can not recognize identifier - activate VA Find Results window and draw on results window message that selected identifier is invalid or propose to slect valid identifier.
  


• VA Find References Results window tootip: please hide tooltip on mouse click and reset show delay.
  


• I have VA Find Results window docked in Auto Hide mode (saving workspace). After invoking "Find references", result window automatically appear and covers about half of edit window. When i double click on found reference VA selects this reference in editor, but i can't see located reference because VA Results covers needful place in editor.
  I propose to calucate which part of edit window is not visible and change top/left line when locating found reference.
  This also can be done for all VA windows that locates something in editor.

Find References should be available on any symbol that is not a comment or keyword. So it is available of variables, functions, classes, structures, enum's and #defines.

Are you aware you can hide the tooltip in the Find References Results window?

Scrolling the code to make the line jumped to visible is a very sensible idea, I have put in a feature request for this:

You make a fair argument for both points. First the error message, I can see why you are getting it quite often. Since the error message appears with keyboard focus a single key press will dismiss it.

If Find References runs normally then keyboard focus is placed into Find References Results, so you still need to return focus to the editor to continue editing.

My concern is that putting the error message into the Find References Results does not actually help, since we are still interrupting your work flow, since we are still "taking" keyboard focus. Does this make sense?

I am wondering about your perspective on this.

The tooltip hover delay, where are you looking when you say this is standard? What you say makes sense, but I wonder about users who are moving the mouse over the result list in order to see the tooltips. They are likely to object to this delay, since it slows them down.

I tried hovering the mouse over Solution Explorer, when it is sized so that the file names do not fit, and I am seeing a similar behaviour. There is a delay for the first tooltip, but subsequent tooltips are fast.
