    Have a look at this[^], the reply from Victor_Chen. Does that help?

          Next to the line number when I have a source file open, where the "build" animation goes if you're actually building something, is this little animation that looks like a page with a "++" on it. It keeps disintegrating and reassembling itself over and over and over and over and over again. Is this VS2010's way of telling me IntelliSense(tm) is doing... something? Why is it only one solution that does it? Is it part of Microsoft's agenda against people with ADD? (Much like Code Project?) I can't right, double, middle or triple click it. I can close the solution, VS, reboot, and it still comes back. It's like having a <blink> tag in the corner of a webpage. Or an animated smiley that won't die. Make it stop.

              I never use the line numbers... they just distract and are usually too big to really serve a real purpose. Bookmarks are a way easier way to navigate to something.

                    But it is a visual experience - ... .. . It's just that all but the brightest of monkeys or pomeranians would it find horrendous! Perhaps it's a bid to distract one from the fact that it(the IDE) runs soo much slower than it should on account of the lazy coding done for it. (I.e WPF instead of win32 GDI)

                        Time to break up your file into smaller files :) I refer to line numbers all the time. I'm typing ^G all day to swiftly get to a certain part of the screen or file. Bookmarks can be nice if you plan to keep one long-term, but for intra-day coding, I just remember the line numbers. Probably goes back to my edlin days.

                          You need to play with bookmarks more! They're really neat, its easy to make them and remove them, skim through them, rename them! :-D

                              I like line numbers, but I've never figured out how to turn them on in VS. Earlier versions were a PITA, as locating errors was difficult, but the newer versions make it easy. I can probably live without them, but it still doesn't "look" right without them. :)

                                  Sorry, I was replying to "You have line numbers?". There was an old movie with JCV and Raoul Julia as the vilan, called Street Fighter. At one point when everybody was fleeing one of the dumb employees finds out that his colleague was actually paid. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111301/quotes[^] The dialog is actually like this: Zangief: General Bison is a bad guy? If you know then why do you work for him? Dee Jay: Because he paid me a freakin fortune, Man! If you know what's good for you you'll save your own ass! Zangief: ...you got paid?

                                      I use both extensively; I find them complementary - rather than competing - features.

                                        Next to the line number when I have a source file open, where the "build" animation goes if you're actually building something, is this little animation that looks like a page with a "++" on it. It keeps disintegrating and reassembling itself over and over and over and over and over again. Is this VS2010's way of telling me IntelliSense(tm) is doing... something? Why is it only one solution that does it? Is it part of Microsoft's agenda against people with ADD? (Much like Code Project?) I can't right, double, middle or triple click it. I can close the solution, VS, reboot, and it still comes back. It's like having a <blink> tag in the corner of a webpage. Or an animated smiley that won't die. Make it stop.

                                        That happens when the folks in Redmond turn on your webcamera. It's one of those "studies" you agree to when you accept the license agreement. (I found that you can cancel out ADD with paranoia.)

                                          Don't think anyone said they were competing (I didn't downvote). Everyone has their own preferences.
