The suggestion listbox is "completing" my statements in situations where it should be disabled. Here's an example:
I want to make a new variable called "start". I've typed it out and am about to hit the ; key.
It gets turned into the top entry on the suggestion list.
I have all keys for committing from the suggestion listbox turned off. I couldn't find any other options dealing with this... Am I missing any?
As a sanity check, I disable VAX. VS 2012 still has a suggestion listbox loaded with the same info (STARTDOC on top), but when I hit the ; key, it doesn't replace start with STARTDOC. So VAX is the culprit.
Am I being foolish or is this a bug? It occurs in all sorts of circumstances for me with pretty much any key hit afterward, like a closing brace or enter. It's driving me crazy! |

The listbox has focus, which I would not normally expect from a suggestion listbox when you are creating a new variable. Can you please try turning Off:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions -> Include suggestions in listboxes
does this make any difference? I am wondering if you are seeing a suggestion listbox or a full completion listbox.
If you edit the IDE setting:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Member List Commit Characters = {}[]().,:;+-*/%&|^!=<>?@#\
to remove the semi-colon from this list of characters, does this have any effect here? |

Include suggestions in listboxes was already unchecked.
Removing the semicolon from that list did fix the problem. It's odd that it doesn't occur when VAX is disabled, though! Clearing out that list should fix the problem, hopefully without any weird side effects...
Thanks! |

Out of interest, can you please check your registry and see if you have the following setting turned On:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W350
this is a registry key setting to make sure suggestion lists always have focus. If you had suggestions turned on this would explain why they had focus in this particular situation.
I am glad changing this setting helped, but you should not have had this problem to begin with.
Can you please export your VA and IDE settings and send them to me:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
I can then import them here and see if I can reproduce the problem.
Please submit the files via the form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp
including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |
