VS2005, C#
While writing code it occasionally happens that I'll have to add an new member to a class i am using right now, so I complete the code i am working on and later add the member to the class. VAX always gets in my way doing this, because of the way it handles the completion lists when there is no match at all.
For example, my intention is to add a new property to myClass called myProperty.
this.instanceOfMyClass.[here VAX pops up with the members o myClass]myProperty pressing space now will overwrite myProperty with whatever was pre-selected in the completion list.
Why does VAX keep the selection in the suggestion list if the is no match with what was typed? If i remember correctly this was not the behavior in older versions. |

The basic idea to doing this is you are always seeing the right items in completion listboxes. But in this particular case, this is not true. There is an option to change this:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Selections committed with: Any character not valid in a symbol
but it applies only to suggestion listboxes. We are considering to apply VA listbox "selections committed with" options to all listboxes:
case=9369
so you will be able to turn off this functionality.
You are right: this is new, because there was a change in 16xx series to behave like default intellisense. |

| Ok, would be really nice to NOT have it behaving like that. Its too irritating and really makes you write more instead of less. |

| This is down as fairly urgent, but unfortunately I do not have an estimate on when it will be done. As a temporary work around pressing Escape to dismiss the listbox should help. |

Build 1707 honors your C# completion character set and commit on space option.

| "Selections committed with" behavior for member lists is now configurable under VA Options | Advanced | Listboxes. (case=9369), implemented in build 1829. |
