C#: When I change the name of a struct, and then use the VA "Rename references" menu that (sometimes) appears, there is a underlying fatal bug: when the new name contains the name of another type, the rename may change all references of the contained name instead of the changed one.
Example: two types "struct Niceone" and "class Naughty", now I type Naughty in front of the Niceone, the rename references will change all Naughty references into "NaughtyNiceone" instead of the Niceone references.

Ignoring the "why won't this in place refactoring trigger" problem, how often do you run into this?

I have managed to reproduce it once, but so far only once. Definitely a nasty problem, and I don't like the idea of it happening on rename without a preview. Still, I just wish I could reproduce this more reliably. I have put in a bug report for my test case:

seems to be constant. Whenever you have added a name in front that exists as a type, it will change the wrong one.

I have tried several different things here, but I still cannot get this to happen. I have seen this bug once, but none of my follow up tests have reproduced it.

I have added a note to the case to explain how often you are seeing this.

I hope that triggering Rename via the rename dialog is at least reliable and safe.

Not really using the rename dialog, but by quick testing it seems to work.

Just had another instance of the same problem:
namespace XX.yyy


Have a namespace called XX somewhere and now remove the dot, hit enter on VA�s "Rename references" or "Rename references with preview..."
All instances of XX will be renamed to XXyyy

Its actually a even trickier situation, since we are messing with two namespaces, XX and yyy.
