VS AuthoHide window bug

Published 08-04-2005 10:47 PM | jokiz

One innovation I love most with with Visual Studio is their AutoHide windows.  I always configure every window (server explorer, debug windows, etc.) to be AutoHide to maximize my code view (eventhough I have a 1280 x 1024 resolution at font size 8).

The only problem with the said feature is its bug.  There is a known AuthoHide window bug for Visual Studio .NET wherein they sometimes mess up especially for add-ins.  When they mess up, window becomes not functional.

Jetbrains Refactor has an issue with their Find Results window here.

The thing I hate most is its conflict with VSS Pending Checkins.  I am the type of guy who only wants the minimum window open so I rarely use Enterprise Manger or Query Analyzer.  I use all the tools in VS and when Pending Checkins window messes up, I couldn’t do anything but restart devenv.exe.  As they say, it’s a real PITA.
