    Today I found another VS bug. Again present in both VS2008 and VS2010 flavors. :sigh: Not that it is a bad bug, it is purely cosmetic, but you would expect a company like MS to be professional and to find and fix a bug in the last 4 or more years (perhaps it does the same on older VS too, I dont have any to test with). Anyways, the bug: Open any file whose (file)name starts with a . (a full-stop, eg .wtf). :doh: PS: I tried to find a report on the MS Connect site, but found no results. I could report this bug, but like MS I can't be bothered. Update: Here is what I and some of the others are seeing. The tooltip shows the correct text. http://i.imgur.com/zDUKB.png[^]

      Of course, you could just name files like normal people, and avoid this problem altogether.

        How did you manage to create a file named .wtf in the first place? Explorer does not let me do that.

            I suspect it may those little files that Macs leave behind, e.g. on your flash drive when you plug it into a Mac. Here in the office we call them Mac droppings.

              Harold, open Notepad, and use "Save As Option" and name the file as ".abc.txt" and click save. It gets saved. However, if you try to create a new file directly through explorer and name it as ".abc" it would not allow you.

                It can easily be made using the good old copy con command: c:\sob\csmf\pos\analpore>copy con: .wtf you are a useless pos ^Z 1 file(s) copied. etc. :)

                  Yes, it does happen, however, it does not allow you when you try to create directly through Windows Explorer. As it allows, it definately does not look like an OS Restriction :)

                    Are you referring to the bug where the filename does not appear in the tab(only the path)? Maybe they are using some open source code in there and it is respecting the fact that on Linux, files with names starting with "." are considered "hidden" files.

                          The problem being? I opened the file and edited it and then saved it. I id not find anything unusual except the tab title.

                              You need to spell this bug out a bit more. I have Visual C++ 2010 Express and can open similarly named files with no problems.

                              It's time for a new signature.

                                      I don't consider trying to break my filesystem with semi-illegal names to be an essential part of testing..

                                        Today I found another VS bug. Again present in both VS2008 and VS2010 flavors. :sigh: Not that it is a bad bug, it is purely cosmetic, but you would expect a company like MS to be professional and to find and fix a bug in the last 4 or more years (perhaps it does the same on older VS too, I dont have any to test with). Anyways, the bug: Open any file whose (file)name starts with a . (a full-stop, eg .wtf). :doh: PS: I tried to find a report on the MS Connect site, but found no results. I could report this bug, but like MS I can't be bothered. Update: Here is what I and some of the others are seeing. The tooltip shows the correct text. http://i.imgur.com/zDUKB.png[^]

                                          How did you manage to create a file named .wtf in the first place? Explorer does not let me do that.

                                          Quite easy to rename from a command prompt.
