Trying to type some chinese characters into XAML editor using an IME:



The result is some really weird characters:



If I disable VA (through menu VAssistX->Enable/Disable Visual Assist), everything works fine.

More information:
VS 2017 Community (15.3.5)
10.9.2231 on Windows 10 x64 (10.0.15063)
"Coloring and Attributes -> Apply coloring to -> Text Editors" is unchecked
"Suggestions -> Suggestion and Completion lists -> Enable in C#" is unchecked

This bug has actually been there for quite some times, dated back to when I still uses VS2015.
Back then I thought my IME was broken, so I just type the text somewhere else, and copy-paste them into XAML editor (yes, copy-paste works fine with VA enabled). It's not until today where I accidently disabled VA, and found out the characters get inputed correctly, thus realized this is not IME's problem, but VA's.

I am seeing the same problem, thank you for the clear description. This is a known problem, but I don't currently have any estimate for when we will try and fix this:

case=94724

For now, if you use the:

VA Options -> Projects and Files -> Extensions to ignore:

setting, and add .XAML; to this setting, you can tell VA to ignore .XAML files, so VA will no longer cause this problem.
