Now I've disabled all other extensions to notice real bugs existing in VA.
The parameter box displays wrong information upon repetitive calls. As is shown below, VA displays the usage below rather than initial definition.
When there are multiple definitions included I have to press up or down key to navigate, and upon pressing the whole box often disappears. It's reproducable just by typing brackets to let param info show and backspace many times. As I type often it this issue frequently arises.
Another one is the the wrong recognition of curly brace initialization in VA Outline. It's wrongly recognized maybe as a class declaration, preventing its outline of following variables.
Hope these issues can be handled. |

For VA Outline, is that a global scope variable? Or something else? It looks like a global scope variable from VA Outline, but since VA Outline has problems, that isn't reliable.
For the parameter info tooltip, I am a bit confused. You say it disappears on pressing Up or Down, but you say I reproduce this by pressing Backspace.
Does the tootip reliably disappear Just on Up and Down arrow keys? I have just been trying this here, VS2022, VA 2602.0, and pressing JUST Up and Down on a call to:
MessageBoxEx(,|)
where | is the keyboard caret. I must have cycled through the 4 overloads listed 15 or 20 times, and no problem with the tooltip disappearing. But I might be running the wrong test here. |

I've reproduced this problem on latest version 2026.3, link:https://we.tl/t-ANr8israVMyj3wpF
In this video I press down key and up key to navigate. If it's that I've reached the top or bottom like 1 of 4 or 4 of 4 and pushed the up or down key again, the carted should go to the next or last line, but it didn't, and you can see that the frame of the editor flushed. That's just how the parameter box disappeared, by just pressing down or up key, it failed to navigate and just vanished.
About the VA Outline, yes, it's a global variable. |

In this video I press down key and up key to navigate. If it's that I've reached the top or bottom like [1 of 4] or [4 of 4] and pushed the up or down key again, the caret should go to the next or last line, but it didn't, and it can happen in the middle like navigating from [3 of 4] to [2 of 4]. That's just how the parameter box/tooltip disappeared, by just pressing down or up key, it failed to navigate and just vanished.
About the VA Outline, yes, it's a global variable.

Watching the video for the tooltips, the video does not show what keys you are pressing. I mention this since if you are on tooltip 1 or tooltip 4 and go Up from 1, or Down from 4, then the tooltip closing is expected, since this is done to avoid "trapping" the cursor keys, and stopping them working when you no longer want to see the tooltip.
Is it likely this is a factor? |

I can't quite tell if this is a factor. If the bug doesn't occur, going up from 1 or down from 4 will move the cursor key to the former line or next line, but when it occurs, no matter I'm performing these 2 behaviours, or just normal navigation like going from 1 to 2, the tooltip disappears, and the cursor key stays still, as if it's "trapped" once, though it won't affect the later keyboard acts. |
