I thought that at one point, one could use Ctrl-Z to undo a VAX change to a symbol - repair case, or abbreviation, etc. Currently, it doesn't seem to work. Hitting Ctrl-Z revert back to what you typed - but as soon as you type a space or comma, it "fixes" the item again - a major annoyance. I did a search and noticed that the same thing was reported in TOPIC_ID=7136.
For example, I am embedding idl in a .h file. I type
[out,
which immediately gets converted to
[OUT,
because VAX thinks it knows about "#define OUT()"
hitting ctrl-Z removes the comma, and then hitting ctrl-Z again reverts OUT to out, but there is no way to insert a comma without the symbol change occurring again.
The only way is to type the comma first, and then back up and type the symbol.

When this happens, you are probably see a suggestion listbox. Suggestion listboxes are VA's best guess at what you might be typing. Member listboxes appear after typing a dot or -> and list the class members.
The cause of your replace is the "repair case" feature. If you type a word, and VA suggest you the same word but without "match case", it will replace your word to repair the cases when you press space, comma, etc. This is how this feature works.
If you don't like it, you can turn it off here:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> Repair case
If you do this, you will get the same suggestions, but you have to accept them by enter. This is what you may need.
My personal experience is that cases like this are a little annoying, but very rare. So I decided to keep this option turned on. |

| Thank-you for your response. My fault is not with what it is doing, but with the way that it handles undo. When I hit ctrl-Z after it has fixed the case, I am saying that I didn't want/didn't like that. It should note that, and not immediately do the same thing when I type a comma again. |
