Undo Problems

Woody Splawn

For reasons I have not been able to identify, sometimes I am unable to
invoke the undo option when I am in the code viewer. I am using VS.net 2003
(18718). The solution is to exit VB and come back in. When I do, undo is
working again but I wish I knew what make is happen in the first place. If
I did know perhaps I could avoid the problem. It's kind of irritating.

Does anyone know what the problem is? Is it a known bug in this version?
Is there a later version or service patch available?

I can only say that I never had this problem and that there are not
service packs/... available for the 2003 version of VS.NET.
 
Hi Woody,

There is one situation I have the same, that is when I am editing while I
forget I am still in debugging mode.

Could it be the same?

Hello Woody,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the "Undo" functionality in VS .NET 2003 IDE may cease to work sometimes.
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding. Based on my experience,
there is a known issue in VS .NET 2002 IDE seems related
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316620), however, it was resolved in VS
.NET 2003. I think more information is needed before moving forward:

1. Does the problem occur to a specific project or to all projects? If the
problem only occurs to a specific project, please tell me the type of the
project (WinForm, ASP .NET Web app, etc) and detailed steps to reproduce
the problem.

2. Please click the menu item "Tools" -> "Add-in Manager" and uncheck all
the Add-ins to check if the problem is caused by a malfunctioned Add-in.

3. I suggest that you can restart the computer into Windows Safe-Mode and
then see if the problem still exists.

I look forward to your response.

Have a nice day!

Hi Cor,

Yes, this happens to me sometimes to but this is not the source of the
problem I mentioned.

For me the problem seems to be the opposite. I never seemed to have the
problem when I was using VS 2002 but it started shortly after switching to
2003.

I checked my add-in manager and I had one item checked there for Infragistic
HotFixes. Perhaps this is causing the problem. I don't know. I will
uncheck it and see if the problem continues. Up to now I have not been able
to get it to happen with any regularity or in a way that is predictable.

I will let you know the results of uncheckin the item in the add-in manager.

Thank you for your help.
