After installing 1711 I noticed my namespaces were highlighted. I thought there was something wrong with them and then I realize the the highlighting was because of my last search result.
Now I would use the VS Find when I wanted to look for something in my files but I didn't want them highlighted. VA Find I would use if I wanted highlighting.
The problem with the new highlighting of the VS Find Result is there is no easy way to turn it off. To turn it off I have to search for something I know doesn't exist. Which is a real pain.
If this can't be removed by myself could an option field be added to the VAX options dialog to turn it off.
To manually clear highlighting (without disabling the feature), simply press Esc.
That is a good thing to know, although it was somehow hard to find (I went looking for a button, a menu item and a command to put in my customized menu before searching here!)
