I use the option called Selections committed with Any character not valid in a symbol. In VS2005, the spacebar works. This is great as it allows me to type
ret f;
for example. In VS2012, the spacebar bypasses completion. The above example would complete 'false' but not 'return'. It ought to behave as in 2005.

Are you getting a VA snippet for ret as seen on the screenshot?



If yes, can you please export and send in your VA and VS settings?

1. VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings

2. IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

I can import them here and see what's the problem and how to fix it, assuming that I am able to reproduce the problem.

Yes. The suggestion pops up, then the spacebar dismisses the popup and emits a space. Much obliged.

I got the files, thank you and was able to reproduce the problem.

You have two options to fix this.

1. Empty the editbox for Member list commit characters, so VA takes over:

Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Member list commit characters

2. Put space to the list:

Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Member list commit characters

This is because when there are characters in this editbox, VA will filter what "any character" means.
Sorry for the confusion, we will describe this in the tooltip.
