Hello all - I am using Visual Assist build 1825 with Visual Studio 2010 on Vista. VS will crash repeatedly, without fail anytime I enable Visual Assist. If I leave the UI alone, Visual Assist will run through parsing all the project files, but as soon as I start working on code, it crashes.

The message is:

I'm not sure what to do other than repair Visual Studio and uninstall/reinstall Visual Assist (which didn't help).

I will gladly buy the latest version if it doesn't crash, but it won't let me use it in Trial mode to see what happens. Any advice is appreciated.

Are you able to grab a mini dump from one of these crashes? This FAQ explains how:

Which OS are you using, and is it a 64bit OS?

I think I found the problem. While making the dumpfile, I noticed the crash was in

PresentationCore.dll!MS.Internal.TextFormatting.TextMetrics.FullTextLine.FormatLine()

On a hunch, I changed my Visual Studio setting for "Fonts and Colors/Text Editor/Plain Text" from "DejaVu Sans Mono" (size 8) to the default settings, and I no longer get crashes when Visual Assist is enabled.

edit: I canceled the dumpfile upload because after 2.5h it was only at 14%

If resetting the IDE to this font causes the crash to reappear then it is possible you have a corrupt font file. I have just downloaded and installed version 2.32 of the font "DejaVu Sans Mono" from their website:

http://dejavu-fonts.org/wiki/Main_Page

and I am not seeing any problems editing or typing code with this set as the VS2010 font. So you might want to try downloading and reinstalling the font files, to see if this helps.
