> VS2008, Vista 32-bit Professional.
I should mention that I am on the same setup.
I found a weird way of temporarily restoring this - when an autocomplete box appears, I pressed up and down many times, changing the autocomplete selection. Each keypress produces a new tooltip, and if I do it enough times the correct tooltips is restored.
Of course this is usually short lived and I eventually get black tooltips again. |

swongu when you get this listbox tooltip problem does it effect both member listboxes and suggestion listboxes?
A suggestion listbox should have a small "A" icon under the bottom left hand corner.
A member listbox appears after typing dot or -> on a class or variable name.
Are you seeing this on both monitors, or only the second monitor? |

The actual suggestion and member listboxes are fine, as you can see by the screenshot. But the tooltip accompanying it is misdrawn. Like I've mentioned, when these listboxes appear I was able to move the selection up and down and if I do it enough times, the tooltip is restored (with no black areas).
Only see this on the secondary monitor. |

Apologies, I did not explain myself clearly.
Do you see this tooltip problem with both suggestion listboxes and member listboxes? If you trigger a suggestion listbox by just typing on a new line what happens with the tooltips? What happens for a member listbox?
The fact you are getting the wrong information in the tooltip is almost good news. Hopefully this is something we can try and pin down and then fix. |

When Visual Assist reaches the state of the "bad tooltips" it doesn't matter which listbox triggers it - all tooltips go wonky. In both suggestion and member listboxes, the actual text in the tooltip contained stays the same no matter which item I select in the listbox, like the screenshot.
If that is not clear please let me know, thanks! |

Very clear, thank you. It is good to know it effects both types of listbox.
Can you please turn on VA logging, produce a couple of listboxes that show these invalid tooltips, and then send me both the VA log files and screen shots of the listbox and tooltip? Please turn off VA logging, or close the IDE once you have done this test, to stop the log files getting to large.
I am hoping the logs will give us some clues as to what is going wrong here.
Please see this FAQ for details of turning on VA's logging, and sending us the log files
