Using VS 2005, C language.
My typing speed is about 130 WPM. It is effectively faster when I type things that I type frequently. This means I can type identifiers with monstrous speed on occasion.
It seems that VS/VA's listbox generation is often slower at displaying than I am at typing an identifier (that is, a struct member name, for example). When this happens, after I hit space after typing the identifier, VA automatically inserts the first selection in the list box IN PLACE of the identifier I just typed, completely overwriting it.
The only way I have found of alleviating this is to turn off automatic listboxes in VS. |

Can you please check if "Any character not valid in a symbol" is checked or unchecked in
VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes
It should be unchecked for you. Currently VA is doing the same thing the IDE does, for consistency, so this option only applies to suggestion listboxes, which only contain VA's best guess, and cannot be assumed to be always correct.
Suggestion listboxes are VA's best guess at what you might be typing. Member listboxes appear after typing a dot or -> and list the class members.
Please let us know, if you will have problems with member listboxes as well.
Another option that you should turn off is
VA Options -> Advanced -> Corrections -> Repair case |

| We have some fixes in build 1727 that should help with this problem (case=26616 and case=28032). |

Hi, thanks for responding.
The problem actually occurs for me with member listboxes. It may or may not have occurred with suggestion listboxes before, but I could not reproduce the behavior after upgrading to build 1727. The problem still does occur with member listboxes.
I already have all corrections except format after paste turned off. |

Can you try turning off accept with any character for member listboxes, as explained in this FAQ please:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W371
hopefully this will help, if the space you type at the end of the variable name is accepting a "slow" listbox. |

| Excellent, that registry entry works perfectly. Problem solved, I think. |

Laggy listboxes causing unintended entry.
