I'm on the preview version of visual studio 2017. And recently after an update my visual studio started doing this:
I have marked the issue with two white circles. As you can see, visual studio adds a visual line break between the functions. How this happened, I don't know. It might be a key combination that I pressed by accident or a setting that is on by default in my version.
What I want to do is turn it off. I want line 255 and 256 in my screenshot to be directly underneath each other again and not have visual studio insert a mandatory "line break" between them. How do I achieve this?
The issue has fixed itself after updating to Version 15.8.0 Preview 5.0.

How to get rid of bar marked on below screenshot? Previously I had there some kind of code tracking, like code minimap, using which I could quickly move to specific part of my code, but I decided to remove it. It worked, but bar remained and it is misleading for me, as it cuts my code (it can also be seen on screenshot) and just waste space.
I remember that I saw this feature for first time in Visual Studio Code, but disabling it was easy as it required only to add one line to settings JSON file. Unfortunately, I can't see such a file for Visual Studio 2017. On the other side - last time Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code acted like two separate beings and that's fine for me. This time they act like Visual Studio 2017 inherits settings from Visual Studio Code. I had this code minimap though I never enabled it. I had ESLint enabled in Visual Studio 2017 though I never enabled it. However both of those were enabled in Visual Studio Code. Is there a way to separate Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code again? I would like my settings from Visual Studio Code to not be adopted by Visual Studio 2017.
Fixed. I had to enter Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> Scroll Bars and changed Behavior from "Use map mode for vertical scroll bar" to "Use bar mode for vertical scroll bar".
My question about inheriting settings from Visual Studio Code by Visual Studio 2017 is still up-to-date.
I downloaded the FiraCode font's and have selected that as my font in Visual Studio. However the ligatures are not showing and the wiki doesn't have any special instruction for visual studio, although they imply it works because it is listed in their WORKS column for editor support.

Anyone have the missing step(s) to display the ligatures in visual studio 2015?
Before it will work you will need to close and restart Visual Studio.
I ran into the same problem and this fixed it (details)
After installing the font and restarting Visual Studio, it works for the most part. The way that Visual Studio handles tokenization in the syntax highlighting breaks the ligatures containing dashes (such as <!-- -->).
In Visual Studio 2012, is there a way to enable/disable the error marker bar next to the text editor?
Mine is currently not showing any marker, although I have compile errors in my code.
Only in Visual Studio 2015 with Roslyn analyze your code in real time such markers can appear. All older VS releases won't show them unless you use a third party tool such as ReSharper.
I was having license errors with the latest Marmalade (6.4) and I reran s3eConfig to fix them. I set it to use Visual Studio 2010 and it re-setup marmalade and the license errors went away. However it is not respecting my Visual Studio selection and always opens Visual Studio 2012.
So, my question is where does marmalade hide these config values that you set when running s3eConfig? It looks like I will have to change it manually.
Marmalade saves these values in AppData. But instead of modifying these values, you can just right click on the mkb and open them in your desired IDE disregarding the default ones.
I guess the Visual Studio 2012 is the phone version(wp8). Marmalade has a bug regarding this, don't remember the MAINT number/bug issue tracking number.
Unfortunately now I am one of those people who are asking for help to find some individual setting inside Visual Studio but after quite a long time of searching I am simply giving up.
I need the following feature of both Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 turned on:
If you click an identifier in your source code Visual Studio will highlight all other occurrences of this identifier with Grey.
Maybe:
I can't test this out myself, can't tell if it's a MSVS feature or Visual Assist. You might need Intellisense enabled for this.
This extension of Visual Studio will Highlight all occurrences of selected word
