    Absolutely! And much better than they paid me when I was a programmer, back in the days before the IDE did everything for you. ;P

    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?

      It wasn't exactly the same issue (it was a different animation), but clearing those checkboxes and restarting VS fixed it. I can re-enable those checkboxes and it hasn't come back. Yet. Weird. Maybe it was a coincidence that it went away. Thanks for the link, I never found the magic google phrase that got me anything even close to relevant... all of my search results were about how to do animations in MFC.

      Why, Google hasn't implemented snapshot search yet? What a shame! ;) Oh, wait, might there be a business opportunity here? :wtf:

        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.

                  OK, sparring partners then! Same point. Doesn't matter anyway.

                        No way! I'm too worried that I might stop getting distracted one of these days and miss everything. :doh:

                          Since studio ~2008 (maybe 2005), you can name your bookmarks by going to the bookmark window, and selecting the bookmark then just right click, rename (or just do a slow double click like you would rename a file in explorer). Its a really neat feature when you've got a lot of bookmarks at the same time.

                            Speaking of annoyances with VS2010.....is it just me, or does the "MATCH WHOLE WORD" checkbox on the Find and Replace window keep getting checked for everybody? Don't know if it is some hotkey I just accidentally hit every now and then that turns it on or a bug. All I know is that several times a day (but definitely not EVERY time) when I do a Find for something that I know is in this source file - it's not found. And I look over at the Find and Replace window and sure enough, that little bugger is checked again.
