It seems VAX restores the wrong files after a VS2003 crash.
Whenever I open a .cpp file and it suggests it detected an
unsaved version of this file and offers to load the last
working copy it actually seems to load the content
of the matching .h into the .cpp buffer.
This happens with all .cpp files that it tries to recover.
VS2003 with VAX 10.6.1827.0 built 2010.06.11

Which OS are you working under?
How many files is VA trying to recover?
I have just tried a simple test of this here, using VS2003 with VA 1827 under winXP SP3. I edited a .cpp file, but left its matching .h file alone. I then killed VS2003 to simulate a crash, and when I reloaded the IDE and solution VA correctly recovered the .cpp file. |

I use XP Pro SP3 and it may just claim 1 file exists that was unsaved.
I just had this happen again.
To simplify matters assume my solution might contain foo.cpp, foo.h and bar.h.
It claimed foo.cpp was unsaved and when it recovered its content it loaded
the content of bar.h into foo.cpp.
Very Very Wrong! |

Agreed, this is very wrong indeed.
If you create a new test project, edit one of the files, and then use Task Manager to kill the IDE process without saving the edits. When you reload the IDE can you reproduce this problem?
Something must be triggering this problem, but what? |

I can confirm this behavior. I've been experiencing it a couple of times now (if I recall correctly it started some 2 or 3 months ago --- i'm always running the latest VAX build including betas, so if it's an VAX code issue, it might have been introduced in one of these versions).
Unfortunately, I don't have a repro case at hand.
However my experience is slightly different:
It's that VAX just tells me, I've got some unsaved changes and when I tell it to restore the changes, I end up with a completely different file being restored (it's not always the corresponding header file but rather any random other file in my solution which gets restored).
Maybe that's a bit of help to identify the bug? |

I have managed to reproduce this, just once so far:
case=49620
I was editing a mix of C++, C# and VB.NET files when I managed to reproduce this, in VS2008.
Which IDE and programming language are you using? |
