    The Lines & Symbols[^] just suddenly appeared when I opened my project. They were not there before the last update. Anyone know how to turn these off?? Note that I have 'Show procedure line separators' off. The lines only appear on regions. The purple boxes open a context menu. Thanks

    In theory, theory and practice are the same. But in practice, they never are.” If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind.

      You already have it turned off. I'm running 17.8.2 and cannot duplicate the problem, so I would say open an issue with MS on it.

        Will the age old method work - 1. Close VS (shut down the process in Taskbar) and open. 2. If that does'nt work, shut down Windows, power off and open again.

          You forgot the part: Bury a dead chicken in the back yard. :)

            Which, I must say, is MUCH easier than burying a live chicken in the back yard.

            I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

              That sounds like somebody with experience. But probably use a rubber chicken next time.

                Turn them on and save your settings. Then turn them off. Microsoft uses "cached" information when showing settings and sometimes the cache gets out of sync with reality.

                    It is not only MS, most caches are a PITA and do not work :(

                      I want to disagree but honestly can't. Refresh too often, and you might as well not have it at all. Don't refresh enough, and the data goes stale and you're left wondering why new things are missing, old things are still there, or still have old values.

                          Could it be an extension pack doing that?

                            OMG! You guys are on it! Thanks for the chuckle this morning. My brain has been trying to visualize an attempt at burying a live chicken since I read this, particularly a fiesty mean rooster. :laugh:

                              WOW! I can't believe you either found this, or somehow knew about it! What an obscure piece of information, but highly appropriate to this discussion. Thanks for posting.

                                Agreed. At my previous job we had a cached counter that I discovered frequently (as in multiple times a day) would get out of sync. I replaced the cached counter with a query to get the actual numbers and solved it. The query only took about half a second to execute and our disk caches were big enough that after the first query execution it almost never went back to the disk to get the counts.
