When typing in the List Methods box, if the first letter that you are typing is not found in any of the methods, it automatically switches focus to the current view.
Now, I'm not a super typist where I can type blindly and catch that behaviour, so a lot of times I end up typing somewhere in my code. If the file is under Source Control it pops up a box asking to Check Out.... Just gets annoying a bit.
Would it be possible to correct this behavior of the List Methods box and not to switch focus?
Thanks,

I am not seeing this behaviour.
Which IDE and version of VA are you using?
Which programming language are you working in? |

Oops... OK, a little clarification:
Say you are looking for a function "quick_sort", but it's not there and none of the functions contain letter "q" in the name. So if you start typing "qu...", the second letter "u" ends up in the code.
So if first letter is not found, the focus changes to the code window and the second letter ends up in your code.
IDE VC6, VS2008

using VS2008 and VA 1649 I have opened a cpp test file.
I them pressed Alt-m to open the list methods in file list.
I typed "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" to filter it.
None of the function names in this file contain any z's, so the list was empty after the first letter. All of these letters went to filter the list, none of them went to the file.
How similar is this to what you are doing? |

Maybe that's the method developers were testing with. ;) Your way does work.
I never use Alt+M to open List Methods because frankly I didn't even know about this shortcut. I click inside the List Methods combo with mouse and then start typing.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.
case=20630
I am only seeing the problem if I click into the context field, not if I click on the down arrow that shows the list of methods in the file. Alt-m may be the best work around here, if you don't mind using the keyboard for that.
Personally I always use the mouse in preference to the keyboard, so I tend not to find mouse specific bugs at first, unless I am specifically testing for them  |

Thanks for upgrading this into a bug case. Habits are hard to kill, so I think I'll still be clicking inside Context Field box ;) I also find Alt+#### shortcuts harder because it requires two hands and better coordination. Luckily this happens only once in a blue moon, so I can wait for the fix.
Thanks |

In the short term you could try binding a more continent keyboard shortcut to VAssistX.ListMethodsInCurrentFile in the IDE options dialog.
I am so used to Alt-m that it does not bother me that it uses both hands, but I can see how this might get in the way. |
