I was using the VisualAssist "Memeber list" Navigation bar instead of the default Visual Studio Navigation bar. (It's a drop down with all members, displayed on top of the editor window). With the general build of Visual Assist, the navigation using this drop down is no longer possible - when I click on a method in the list, nothing happens.
I checked in VS 2012 and 2010, and it's broken in both. I also have resharper 7 installed. |

If you use the keyboard shortcut Alt-M does this list of methods in the current file appear? If you type part of a method name, does the list filter correctly? If you use up and down arrow keys, does the current item in the list change? If you press Enter, what happens? Does the list close or stay open? Does VA jump to the selected method?
I am trying to work out how much of this is broken, is it just using the mouse on this list, or if the keyboard is also broken.
Are you seeing this problem in C++ files as well as C# files, or only in one language?
I would not expect ReSharper to break this, but it could be a factor. |

I am not seeing any problems with ReSharper 7.0.1 and VA 1918 under Windows 7 64bit. I have checked both VS2010 and VS2012. So at least we know its not as simple as installing ReSharper breaks this, but this does not move me forward with finding out why you have this problem. |

Yes all of this works, and the problem is only with mouse selection Alt-M works filter works up and down keys work Enter takes me to the method in the file, the list closes
Only selecting method with the mouse does not have any effect. It happens in C# and C++ files, in 2010 and 2012.
I did not uninstall previous version of Visual assist, I just installed the new one. I will try uninstalling/reinstalling. |

Uniinstalled it from both 2010 and 2012 (why could not you just make it uninstallable from Programs?). Started both 2010 and 2012 to make sure it was uninstalled. Closed VS's and installed it again, selecting 2010 and 2012 checkboxes (not the 2008 one) Installed successfully, it picks up the license file automatically, did not have to re-enter it, so it seems that uninstall does fully cleans it up.
Opened 2008 - the same problem.
Installed the previous version v10.6.1862.0 (i know it's oldf but it's the one I used before upgrade). The same problem! :/
Uninstalled resharper, uninstalled VAssist from both VS, reinstalled VAssist v10.6.1862.0 - still the same problem.
(on a side note - VAssist does not really work nice with Dark theme of VS 2012)
I think the problems started when i installed VS2012 side-by-side with 2010. I really dont want to uninstall 2012 to see if if it helps. But i probably will, becuse I need that drop down! :) |

It works now. Uninstalled VAssist, installed the latest version. Restarted the computer. Sorry! (it did not ask to restart, how would I know it was needed?) |

Thank you for the update, I am glad this problem is fixed for you.
First your question about uninstalling, Visual Assist X has to be uninstalled from within the IDE for VS2010 and above due to a design decision by Microsoft. I suspect this is linked to the fact that extensions are now installed on a pre-user basis. So we don't get to provide a central uninstall.
The fact that a reboot seems to have been the key factor here, even after all of this installing and uninstalling, it almost suggests some other process was somehow interfering with mouse clicks. Without knowing what process or how though, this is just speculation.
Hopefully this is now permanently fixed. |
