Hi,

I have about 20 source files open when I start a debug session. Then all of
them are closed! Why is that?? Very annonying. Project is C++, not managed.
7.1.3088.
 
I don't have that problem. But sometimes when I start debugging, my
dockable windows move to the other side of the screen. I don't fight it
anymore. :(

Keep in mind that the IDE maintains two completeely different window
layouts - one is used when the debugger is active, the other is used when
the debugger is inactive. There's nothing in the IDE that forces these
window layouts to be at all similar. You generally need to arrange the
windows separately for the two modes, but once you've done it once the
settings should "stick".

I've seen something similar.
I haven't been able to find a pattern
in this and cannot reproduce it. Just
that once in a while the IDE will close
some/most of the open files when I end
a debug session.
And yes, it annoys me to no end.

This is not a bug that we have seen in our labs. Please let us know if
you are ever able to find some pattern to when this happens. We
certainly want to fix this bug.

Also, does it close all files, even unsaved ones? Does it save them?

Thanks,

That's at the end of debug sessions. I
rarely ever have unsaved files then and I
certainly haven't seen a case where it
closed one of those.
I don't think it ever closed /all/ open
files, although I did see cases where I
was left with two or three open files when
I had more than a dozen of files open when
I stopped debugging.


I see this since I work with VC7.1 and it
happens like once in a months. (At least,
that's how often I realize it. There might
be cases where it closes files that I don't
miss afterwards.) In all the time I haven't
seen any pattern in when it does that.
However, now that I think of it, I remember
that the IDE also often forgets open files
after I get a newer version of some project
file in the solution from our source control
system. (Or does it do this all the time
then? I'm not sure.) Then, after opening the
solution, no file is open at all.

Sorry to be so vague.

This happens to me (and a few coworkers) as well. In our work environment,
we use the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional IDE, but with the Visual
Studio .NET (2002) Professional compilers by modifying the paths.

When I start debugging, the files are always saved anyway, so losing edits
is not an issue. But if during debugging the IDE opens new files and the
number of open files gets to a certain point, then the files from the very
left side (earliest opened) start to close by themselves as newer files are
opened. When the session ends, the files that were closed do not get
reopened (in case that was the intended behavior?).

This is especially annoying because the files on the very left are usually
the ones that I am currently editing/debugging. I have to go into solution
explorer, find and re-open them.
