                | foxmuldr | Posted - Jun 09 2024 : 11:18:14 AM Today something weird happened, I did an Alt+Shift+F and the cyan prompt below came up.  I've never seen it before, so I started looking through the settings on where that was set so I could have it always default to searching the solution, where I found the other issue with the checkbox overlay (https://forums.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20661).
 
 
  
 I'm writing today because the yellow part shows up there partially obscured when the window is narrow.  It doesn't have a tooltip to show the content when you hover over it.  My general Visual Studio window looks like this:
 
 
  
 Minor to be sure.  But, there it is. :-)
 
 I'm also having a crash today in Visual Studio 2022 when I do anything involving VAX, such as Alt+Shift+F on some symbol, or attempting to bring up the VAX Options window.  Not sure the cause there.

                | feline | Posted - Jun 11 2024 : 12:14:08 PM VA reparsing everything is the expected behaviour after a crash.  A crash can leave things in a bad state, and it is possible for a corrupt symbol database to cause problems, so it makes sense from this point of view to also reparse after a crash.
 
 With the regular updates, modern Visual Studio is a moving target.  A good thing when they are adding features you need, but it makes it harder to pin some things down.

                | foxmuldr | Posted - Jun 11 2024 : 08:24:00 AM Next day, I went in to a solution in Visual Studio 2022, and VA reparsed everything at startup without me telling it to do so.
 
 Everything VA-related seems to work.  Menu, Alt+Shift+F, etc.
 
 Seems to have been a fluke.  Modern Visual Studio is weird.  It's not the rock solid, stable tool we had back in the 2000s.  Day to day things break or work differently.  Reboot, wait a few days, and it corrects itself.  I don't like that.

 A crash though, that is a different matter.  An obvious first test, try disabling VA and see if this makes any difference.  The fact that it happens on bringing up the VA options dialog is a concern though.
 
 Have you tried rebooting?  I am wondering if you could be running short on some form of resources.  It seems really unlikely, but should be a quick and simple test to start with, depending on how many programs you have open and running.
