Total Loss of control in VS.net 2005 code window

[Elmo Watson]

I'm now consistently having a problem (shortly after SP1), that, heretofore,
only happened once in a while.

Now, I bring up the code window in VB.Net 2005 - and I loose total control -
I type in a letter or two (most of the time, it's only one), and the
intellisense seems to think that's all I need - the code window loses focus,
sometimes thinking I'm finished, and adds parentheses at the end. Then, no
matter what, I click in the code window, and I can't type in but 1 letter -
then it does it again.

When it first started happening, I could just shut down VS.Net - then
re-open it, and it would be OK for a good while - -
I'm loosing my mind with this -

Does anyone have any ideas on what may be causing this?

I vaguely remember somebody else having this problem. I would reinstall
Visual Studio 2005 and the SP-1 for it.

Nope - that didn't do it - I spent all day on Friday uninstalling all my 3rd
party controls, then VS.Net
then, reinstalled, put in SP1 and installed all my 3rd party controls

It still messes up in the same way - not every time --- but it still does
it.

This happens to me quite often in the Express versions.

Restarting the IDE always fixes it for me though. I think sometimes a cut
and paste does it too, but I'm not 100% on that.

Hi,

Try deleting the .suo files for your projects. There are known bugs for some
of the serialization of data in those. Also delete the bin and obj folders.
Finally turn off the VS host process, under Project properties/Debugging. I
don't know if these make any difference for the code editor, but they fix
other bugs in Visual Studio 2005. Add-ins may cause problems too, if they
are tied to the code editor.

What happens if you don't have the 3rd party controls installed?
