I had it again: VA giving me help in a .txt file (was actually useful)

What I did: edited the .cs file, switched over to the .txt file and started typing.
Its rare and not clear how to trigger.

It does remind me of a known IDE bug, at least in earlier versions, when you have:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Documents -> Show Miscellaneous files in Solution Explorer

turned On, the IDE can report the wrong file is the currently open file to VA. So if something similar was happening here, it would help to explain this. But pinning down the trigger is likely to take a bit of doing. Still, any clues you come across would be most welcome.

Yes, no pattern to trigger it. Just occasionally it happens, not that any bad comes from it. Its just something in VA that gets triggered when it shouldnt. Might of course also be a bug in VS itself. Given the quality of the last version(s), wouldnt surprise me.

I don't suppose it is something that is reproducible, if you delete the symbol / word just typed, and type it again?

It would almost make sense if this was something that could be triggered on demand by typing in a specific location in a specific text file. Not that VA should be active there, but clearly some activity is happening.
