    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.

    And sometimes when you're on, you're really f***ing on And your friends they sing along and they love you But the lows are so extreme that the good seems f***ing cheap And it teases you for weeks in its absence Rilo Kiley - "A Better Son/Daughter"

    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.)

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

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

        Sorry, I got the impression you were espousing one over the other (as was your sparring partner in this discussion, of course).

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

                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

                How do you do that? :confused: I use bookmarks all the time and didn't know you could name/rename them.

                  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.
