How can I fix this Visual Studio bug? - visual-studio

There are some functions when I make couple of new lines after them, I get this white line between the functions. Does someone know how to fix this? It happens to me a lot, and I searched for this bug on the internet but didn't found any answer.
Thank you in advance.

Go to:
Tools->Options->Text Editor->General
Uncheck "Show Structure Guidlines"

How to remove the inline references in Visual Studio

Good day
I am looking to remove the inline references in my code as it clutters the code and provides no functionality that I need.
I have tried going to: Tools, Options, Text Editor, All Languages, CodeLens and disabling code lens, but the references remain in the code. They have not gone away.
How do I get the references to go away completely.
Thank you in advance
I finally found the solution.
Tools->Options->Text Editor->C/C++ (VisualGDB)->CodeJumps
Here set everything to false or 0 (zero). This worked for me.
Finally code that one can read!

Can anyone identify this Visual Studio 2010 extension?

I'm not sure what extension is painting the "Comment Bubbles" seen in this screenshot.
I've gone through the extensions that I knowingly installed and do not see an option to turn it off. Either it's coming from an extension I don't know about, or it's an option in one of the ones I looked at but missed. Any help would be appreciated.
It's devExpress. Go to DevExpress-> Options
Expand Editor -> Painting and then go to Comment Painter. Uncheck enabled.

Find in Visual Studio does nothing

I tried a series of possible solutions (/ResetSettings, control scrolllock, control-pausebreak, pausebreak in the find panel, scrolllock in the find panel, and all sometimes all at once) to no avail. When I click find absolutely nothing happens.
Find-all and replace/replace-all respond the same way. I'm on the verge of a reinstall, but I've read that will not solve the problem. What is going on and what can I do? Anyone experience this?
I caved in and reinstalled Visual Studio. It works now.

Rockscroll or Metalscroll for Visual Studio 2010 (Minimap)

Has any one found a replacement for Rockscroll or Metalscroll for Visual Studio 2010?
I miss it so much that I looked into making one my self but only have word highlighting working and a place holder scroll bar and seems to be much harder than I thought it would be. I'm happy to share what I got if someone is interested in helping.
The Productivity Power Tools extension for VS2010 just added an "Enhanced Scrollbar"!
To enable the minimap go to Tools->Options->Productivity Power Tools->Enhanced Scroll Bar and check "Full map mode". Optionally you can assign the background color and highlighted region.
Just tried ProgressiveScroll and it looks and feels like the original MetalScroll; it also works in Visual Studio 2012!
A user named Kryo at the "Sins of solar empire" forum have made a pretty good imitation of MetalScrollbar for VS 2010, called MetalMargin. Available here. Just installed it, and it seems to work pretty well, although highlight on double click is not yet implemented.
David Pugh released a version of his Structure Margin, which serves a similar purpose. His All Margins extension combines a bunch of the other smaller extensions in the same vein.
It's not exactly the same, but I find the structure margin to be an interesting way to visualize the entire code file.
I haven't tried it myself yet but AllMargins looks really nice. Whoops you already linked it Noah Richards. Sorry.
The code is also available for the OverviewMargin - I haven't tried it at all, but it may be a good place to start from if you want to roll your own.
Did You try RockMargin ?

This is useful
For anyone looking for a replacement for just the Highlighting part of RockScroll, the free plugin "Highlight all occurrences of selected word" does exactly that.

Why don't code snippets work for me in Visual Studio?

I'm trying to use the simple pre-installed code snippets in VS2008. I can insert them by right-clicking and using Insert Snippet..., but I can't get them to work while typing. If I start to type "for", I get the Intellisense list, and I see an entry for the code snippet, but hitting Tab or Enter just inserts the word for, not the snippet.
What am I doing wrong here?
try hitting tab once more..
Or in Emacs style
ctrl-k ctrl-x
It could be your using any kind of VPC software that is intercepting your tab commands and inject them into VPC with a wrong code. I havent found a solution yet though.
Which language you are using?
C++ snippets don't work in VS2008. MS took that feature out :(
