Editing C++ files (h/cpp)

I've been using VA for months on this computer, but a few days ago I started seeing very strange behavior: I start typing a word, I then get the autocomplete popup, but when I use up/down arrows to navigate the list I see the document's cursor moving below the autocomplete popup. If I press Enter, the chosen entry is added to the document but a newline is also inserted (as if I pressed Enter twice). Usually the chosen entry is inserted on the wrong line since the up/down arrows to navigate the dialog also moved the cursor to another line of the document.

Autocomplete is not eating input events. It passes along any input to the document below, so effectively each input is being processed twice (once by autocomplete, once by the document). It makes the autocomplete dialog very frustrating to use since I have to clean up my code after every insertion (at the very least, it inserts a blank line when I hit enter).

I'm not aware of anything that changed in my setup to cause this. I've had version 1940 installed for at least 1 month, and it worked fine before. VS hasn't changed. Same add-ins as before.

feline	Posted - Dec 04 2013 : 7:10:54 PM Good to know, thank you for the update. Hopefully removing it is not causing to many problems.
foo64	Posted - Dec 04 2013 : 6:59:13 PM It was an internal add-in.
feline	Posted - Dec 04 2013 : 6:57:41 PM Thank you for the update, its good to know this is not a VA problem. Out of interest, was this an internal add-in, or one you had downloaded? If this was one you had downloaded, it might be useful to know which one, for future reference, in case anyone else encounters the same problem.
foo64	Posted - Dec 03 2013 : 3:25:50 PM This was apparently caused by an add-in that I forgot that I installed in the past few days. It's all good now.
