XP SP2, VS 2008, VAX 1626.

In my (quite huge) project, I often get this behavior:
myClass.gtv<ctrl+enter> [Choose "GetValue" in list]
yielding:
myClass.gtvGetValue

Obviously not correct. The reason for pressing <ctrl+enter> is a too long delay before the list is shown. Also note that I sometimes turn IntelliSense off (renaming feacp.dll), but this does not seem to be the reason for the problem.

Do you mean CTRL-SPACE instead of CTRL-ENTER?

How large is your solution? How many files do you have in your solution?

If you open VA's Open File in Solution dialog (Alt-Shift-O) the title bar contains two numbers. The first number is the number of files currently listed, which changes as you filter the list. The second number is the total number of files in the list, which is normally the number of files in your solution. What is this second number?

If you just type myClass. and wait for several seconds does the member listbox appear? Or does it never spontaneously appear?

When you get this problem with GetValue being appended, if you use Undo and then trigger the listbox a second time with CTRL-SPACE does it now work correctly? Or do you see the same problem?

I have seen this behavior also with suggestion listboxes, but not able to reproduce. Even I do not tried because I am still waiting for the "next build" and see if it happens with it.

Update: here is how to reproduce

1. Try to populate a completion listbox (for example by someobject->)
2. Move the carret left or right: the completion listbox is disappearing
3. Move the carret after ->
4. Try to type an acronyms: a suggestion listbox will appear.
5. Accept it by enter.
6. The bug will appear.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

case=14290

As you probably know, this only happens if you type an acronym. For me pressing CTRL-SPACE to trigger the member listbox a second time before typing fixes the problem. Triggering the listbox this way should be very fast.

Yes ..and using CTRL+SPACE as a workaround.

Feline, could you check please a previous version? If I remember correctly it worked fine in previous versions (maybe even in 1624).
It is important, because if it is a regression (I think it is) it will have very high priority
(if I know correctly Wholetomato's policy. Or it is your good habit? )

I put this down as a high priority bug fix when I entered it, and it seems to have been fixed internally already. Hopefully the fix will appear in the next build of VA.

I can't reproduce this with the latest beta, and this issue is the same to one that was posted here http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7403, and appears to be fixed in the beta for me.

How easily can you reproduce your problem?
Is there any form of pattern?
Does this happen with all types, or only some types?
Can you provide me with steps to try and reproduce it?
