Rant of the Day

Do I need to actually fill this in? Didn't think so! But if I need one, here's my continual pet peeve: why does VS randomly change the "Find" (Ctrl+F) or "Find All" (Ctrl+Shift+F) document selection from "current document / entire solution" (respectively for the pressed keyboard shortcut) to "all open documents", "entire solution", or whatever else it thinks is the option of the day based on various planetary conjunctions?

Cool! I can do this with my laptop's mousepad, really useful! Never had it happen inadvertently (Ctrl-F seems to remember the previous scope) but this means I can change the scope really easily. Thank you Marc and Greg!
Glad you liked it! I didn't know whether to consider it design intent or a bug. :-D

Oh wow, this happens when hover the mouse over any of the dropdowns in the dialog!

You know, that might very well be the problem!

Maybe using my cat as a mouse assistant has it's drawbacks. ;)

It does that on all dropdowns. That's been a feature forever.

Client-Side Type-Based Publisher/Subscriber, Exploring Synchronous, "Event-ed", and Worker Thread Subscriptionsnot just dropdowns in VS. WIndows default behavior is for the wheel to scroll whatever the cursor is over regardless of if it has focus or not. 99% of the time I like doing that. The last 1% I start swearing when after a scroll I try to do something else and discover that focus wasn't where I thought it was.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
