After every test debugging session Test Explorer pops up and bring itself to the foregound which I find incredibly annoying.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?

Good day,
Every time I open the console in brave and the debugging mode is on, and my screen is over lay with stop pause debug thing.
Does anybody know how exactly to turn it off and get back to normal console ?
Maybe you figured it out by now.
But, in case you didn't, here is a solution.
Open Developer Tools in Brave
Open Sources Tab
And make sure "Pause on Exceptions" is disabled.

If I close a browser running a web application, it is desirable that the debugging session dies. After all, this equals to closing a windows application. However, if I stop debugging and the browser has more than one tabs (as often is the case), all of them will close - definitely not what I intended. Not using this option means I continuously forget the debugger running and clicking the stop button is just extra work.
Is there an add-on to Visual Studio or any other trick that allows to do only the first: stop debugger when window is closed?
Who thought it would be a good idea to put two options behind a single checkbox? This is a double-edged sword at its sharpest!
It's not exactly what you want. But, it might be a workaround. If you enable JavaScript debugging in Tools->Options->Debugging and then you Debug->Detach All. The browser should stay open and debugging should stop... Now it would mean that the application is still running, which might not be desirable.
It's a great suggestion to make this an option. I'd encourage you to open a suggestion on developer community.

Every time I start debugging in VS2013, the intellitrace window hides the solution explorer window. I click back on the solution explorer tab and end debugging. Then, when I start debugging again, the intellitrace window again hides the solution explorer and I have to click on the solution explorer tab again to bring it up. How do I stop this behavior and set it so that the solution explorer always is the active tab when I start debugging? Thanks before hand.
Try grabbing the solution explorer window and sticking it to one of the side panels. This way, you can view both the debug window and the solution explorer at the same time.
I would say this is a more useful view anyway, otherwise I'd be endlessly tabbing between the two throughout the day
I'm trying to debug a VS 2008 command-line application running under Windows XP. The application has been crashing (access violation), and I am catching the crsah in the debuuger. After looking at the call stack, etc., I tell the IDE to "Stop Debugging". The application window remains, but the process does not appear in Task Manager. Nothing happens when I click the "X" in the upper-right corner, though I can minimze / restore the window. The process is normally shut down by pressing Esc. It does not respond to this keypress.
I cannot even get rid of the application window by attempting to reboot XP. The machine will not reboot; it simply ignores my command to do so.
The only way I've been able to get rid of the application window is to do a hard power cycle. Ughh...
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to clean up this lingering application window after the application crashes?
Thanks,
Dave
IE8 has a feature that pops up a dialog box that informs me when a web page stops responding that's a bit annoying when debugging as it steals focus from visual studio. Is there a way to disable that feature?
This was just covered on the IEBlog here.
From the blog:
While we continue to track the
telemetry, if you are debugging IE
either with the IE Developer Tools or
a debugger, and you attempt to
interact with the IE window, there is
a chance that you will see this
dialog. Although this will not impact
your debugging it may be more
convenient to turn this dialog off. Or
if you’re running Win7 RC and are
seeing this prompt more than you
should or would want to, you can turn
it off by changing the following
registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main!HangResistance, DWORD, 0
