Hello,

I've got another problem with the latest beta build.
Because of the cpu hog problem (http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4126) I switched off visual assist to edit that problematic file - from now on I'll call it ID.h -, so after few changes, I close it (after having saved the file) trough a keyboard shortcut (CTRL+W -> file->Close), the editor close the ID.h, the tab from the editor has been closed a the new active tab has been selected (a .cpp file) but the content is not changed and visual studio hung.

I looked at the visual studio threads by using process explorer and I can the the only thread that is executing (it's Context Switch Delta is varying between 62 and 64) is va_x_dll!MigrateDevColor+0xaaf9e and if I look at it's call stack I can find:

ntkrnlpa.exe!KiUnexpectedInterrupt+0xf0
ntkrnlpa.exe!ProbeForRead+0x615
ntkrnlpa.exe!KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLockFromDpcLevel+0xb14
ntdll.dll!KiFastSystemCallRet
kernel32.dll!Sleep+0xf
va_x.dll!MigrateDevColor+0x6978a
kernel32.dll!GetModuleFileNameA+0x1b4

I had no way to close Visual Studio so I had to kill it.

Hope this helps in understanding the problem.

how did you switch off VA? i would not expect you to have any problems if VA was disabled. is VA still disabled after you have closed the file, and when this problem occurs?
