Flicker and Crash problem in VS.NET 2005 Pro

I'm not sure if this is just me, but...

Has anybody noticed an annoying problem in VS .NET 2K5 where you switch from code view to the Form Designer, and your mouse pointer starts flickering and changing among a few mouse pointers (ex. cross, hourglass, pointer, etc.)   This has happened to me a few times already and I havent' found any other common denominator other than the switch from Code View to Form Designer. 

Thanks.

Gerard

    I am having the same issue, any help would be appreciated as well.  It makes the ide unuseable for a minute ir so until it clears or crashes.

  • Vincent Mahon

    I'm on XP Pro SP2 English using the VS 2005 RTM.  One other thing that I have noticed is that if you wait a minute and then click on something in the forms designer the curesor will often (but not always) stop blinking and return control to you.

  • Christina

    Sorry I haven't responded since your post...  Unfortunately I have other problems right now, which I can't find an answer to and will post in a separate thread (Fatal Execution Error).  When I get it working again I'll do as you've asked.

  • ActivityDeveloper

    If the problem is reproducable, could you get a call stack so we can see what's going on

    1) Start another instance of VS
    2) Attach it to your existing instance (Tools >> Attach To Process >> Devenv.exe)

    3) Do the switch to cause this to happen
    4) Hit "break" on the debugger instance
    5) Paste in the call stack here

    If it's actually crashing, wait until that happens, then the debugger will break and then that's the call stack to past in.

    Thanks

    Same problem here!. Windows XP last SP2, Spanish. VSNET 2005 RTMSad

  • jwong008

    Same with me, but... standard response is I shouldn't have to do that.  Maybe I'm in the minority here, but it seems like the betas and RTM were much faster than (and dare I say less buggier!) than the release version.  I seem to have more problems and wait-times than I did in the previous releases.
