With Visual Assist enabled I can't type '(' in a C header file. This is obviously problematic. Instead the editor inserts a single space.
I've tried disabling Visual Assist at which point I can type ( as per normal. Also I re-enabled it and cleared the cache and rebuilt the symbols. I have all the editor section options turned off.

Can you please look and see if you have the IDE setting:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Documents -> Show Miscellaneous files in Solution Explorer
turned On or Off. If this is turned On can you please try turning this Off, and see if this makes any difference? There is a known bug in the IDE its self, where it can report the wrong open file if this setting is enabled, which can result in VA sending characters to the wrong file. It sounds like this might be what is happening here to you, at least for the bracket, but I am not sure about the comma.
If this setting makes no difference can you please make sure you only have 2 or 3 files open, and none of them are showing as modified. Then type one of the problem characters, and see if one of the other files shows as modified, to test if the characters are going to the wrong file. |

| This option is already off. However the issue has for the moment stopped occurring. It survived at least one reboot, but has now thankfully gone away. If it comes back I'll update here. |

Very strange. I am glad the problem went away, but I am not sure what happened here. Given this option was off, the only other thing that I can think of is very complex code that somehow confused our parser. But if this happened the problem should have been file specific, and a reboot should not have had any effect.
If this does start happening again can you please see if this is file or solution specific? |
