        The core feature of Visual Studio is the ability to edit source code. That's #1. For me, though, Visual Studio 2010 is continually getting into a state where it no longer allows me to type. Usually I can just switch to another tab, then back again, or I close the file and reopen, and then I can edit again. There's no warning - just suddenly I can no longer type in that window. Sometimes if I switch away, then back, I see all the typing (and banging) that I did appear, meaning lots of Ctrl-Z-ing. However, I've just had a new one: I can no longer edit the second line in my current file. Everything else is fine, but I can't drag and drop, delete, type on it - nothing. Line 1 is great, line3, it welcomes my edits. But not line 2. Today is "Thou Shalt Not Touch Line 2 Day". I have to say that for all this talk of focus on quality in Microsoft products, they were using the wrong glasses. VS 2010 is becoming painful.

        Have you switched from the default theme? If so switch back and try and replicate the bug.

              It's usually the disk. Guess things will be a lot better once SSDs get faster at performing writes and become more commonplace.

                Does my head in as well, though I haven't tried VS 2010 yet. But in earlier versions it drives me nuts when I'm typing and then have to wait while the HD is hammered for a while before it catches up. It's even worse with resharper installed.

                    Ah. They've actually moved the VS2003/VS2005/VS2008 bug down a line, and updated it in the process. You know the one: Open a new document, and the cursor doesn't display until you've typed a whole line and placed an end-of-line marker in the text. Sounds like progress to me. I bet for VS2012, line 3 will spontaneously combust.

                      VS has decided that line 2 is the best line of code you've ever written and is making sure you don't throw it all away.

                            It's happened with and without a different theme. Good point, though.

                              Yeah, I only though that would be it after you posted the VS2010 theme link. Is it easy to reproduce if so it may be worth heading over to the MSDN VS2010 forum?

                                That happened to me a lot in VS2008. I have just switched to VS2010 about 2 days ago but have yet to use it. I was hoping that annoying bug feature of VS was resolved. :mad:
