Visual Studio settings altering themselves
-
Dunno if it's anything to do with the windows security updates I allowed the installation of last night, but started up VS 2008 this morning and the status bar is gone. Took me a while to find the option to re-add it buried in the options dialog (something I've not even been into for quite some time). Although it's the first time I've seen it happen with the status bar, I don't think it's the first time it's happened with VS settings in general. On my co-workers machine about 2 weeks ago something similar happened, though I think that was the "Parameter information" option relating to intellisense that disabled itself.

Nice one. Something modified my help collection. Now all (yes every single one) links are broken in my local MSDN. :mad:

I had this strange bug happen a few weeks ago where the color of popup hints (or whatever you call them) would change color. When I moused over the tabs at the top of an open code window, the popup would display showing the full path to the file. The background of that popup would change in real time from yellow to blue to green and so on. I'd mouse over the tab and it'd be yellow. I'd move the mouse away then mouse over it again and it would be green. And that strange color abnormality didn't happen when I moused over other stuff... only the tabs at the top of open windows. I restarted and never observed the bug again. Was downright confounding.
Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

Hmm, dunno if it's related but my news feed on the VS 2008 start page is also gone "The current news channel might not be a valid RSS feed...." etc. Not that I really look at it anyway. News feed in environment options is set to: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=45192&clcid=409[^] which works in a web browser.

I recommend setting the news feed to one of the rss feeds to articles here on Code Project. I personally use http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/articlerss.aspx?cat=3[^] for quick access to C# articles. The Start Page is actually useful now.
