In VC6 navigation with mouse back/forward buttons works great for me. In VS2008 it's pretty much broken.
It's always a guessing game where you going to end up. I followed advice in Documentation and unassigned Edit.CompleteWord shortcut Options. I also tried to unassign View.Forward and View.Backward VS built-in navigation shortcuts, but it's still not working...
Or are you talking about dedicated forward and backward buttons on your mouse?
I tried that suggestion before posting. It is the same as the recommendation in the Documentation. I am talking about navigation with Back/Forward buttons of the mouse.
Are you actually using buttons on your mouse, or using the mouse to click IDE toolbar buttons?
By default I would not expect VA to respond to buttons on your mouse.
Using Back/Forward buttons on the mouse always worked (and still does) perfect for me in VC6.
The navigation in history just doesn't work in VS2008 anymore. Doesn't matter which way you try it's all screwed up in VS2008! Mouse Back/Forward, VAX Toolbar <- and -> buttons, Alt+Right / Alt+Left produce the same results - garbage.
I am seeing the same effect here using Visual C++ 6. Visual Studio 2008 using the "Back" mouse button to jump to the previous file for me (like CTRL+TAB does) even without Visual Assist X installed, so I think this is a Visual Studio 2008 feature.
I don't know how to change this functionality, but found a plug-in for
Forward/Backward navigation with the mouse thumb buttons for Visual Studio 2008 (C++)
