I updated to the latest VAX (1833) and I have an issue where, when editing code, any press of the 'd' key causes Visual Studio 2010 to maximize the application. If VS2010 is already maximized, it "de-maximizes" and maximizes again, causing an annoying flash. If I disable VAX, the problem goes away.

This is a pretty vanilla and up-to-date VS2010 install, VAX is the only extension installed.

This is in Windows 7 64-bit.

Strange problems like this usually caused when Windows "thinks" that you are pressing shift, ctrl, alt, etc. when you are actually not. So restarting windows worth a try, on the off chance that it helps.

If it doesn't help, can you please create a log file? The process and the way you can send the files to us is described here:

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyway, do you use any other Visual Studio extension?
Any Windows program that reacts to specific keyboard shortcuts? (i.e. a clipboard program running in the background)

Figured it out. WindowBlinds 7 was causing the issue. I added devenv.exe to the "excluded" list in WB and it now works.
