Sometimes, when I scroll the solution explorer, it corrupts the view. I'm guessing it could be related to the video card or something but don't know how exactly.
Can't explain it better than just to show image:
Any ideas?
Have you tried one of these procedures?
Reset windows layout
Go to Window > Reset Winow Layout
Reset all settings
Go to Tools > Import and Export Settings > Reset all settings
How do I REALLY reset the Visual Studio window layout?

I have an odd issue. Both Break All and Stop Debugging are in the left corner of Visual Studio 2017 and they should be around Continue.
Is there a way I can return them to the default position? It is really inconvenient.
If they are moved you can just click on this and it is drag and drop:

I think this issue is more related to your custom control layout. And if you want the original control layout, you can revert the Settings to the default.
1) Tools-->Customize-->Commands--> remember choosing Standard on Toolbar and click Reset All.
Besides this, also choose Debug on Toolbar and click Reset All.
2) If this does not work, please reset all all settings by Tools-->Import and Export Settings-->Reset all settings.
Hope it could help you.
Where is the Sync with active document button in Visual Studio?
I know that I can press Alt + Shift + L and I will get the Sync with active document.
I also know that I can enable in the Options the feature to work every time I focus on another file.
But I can not find a button in the VS interface to do that. Is it even present? I would expect such a button be somewhere in the top of the interface of the VS. Somewhere near the comment/uncomment buttons (that is just my feeling that it is there, I have no proofs or reasons to think so).
I know this might sound silly, but I spent about a day trying to figure out where the button went in the latest VS2019 (Version 16.10.2) update.
After one complete day of using the keyboard shortcut instead, I realised that the Icon has changed to a different Icon.
Note: The Track Active Item in Solution Explorer checkbox should be unchecked to see this Icon, as posted by #Sandro Stadler.
Pretty simple.
If you check this option, the document and solution explorer will be automatically synchronized and the icon will be hidden.
Deselect to show the icon in the solution manager.
In VS 2019 it is in the Solution Explorer window:
In Eclipse when you click twice on the tab of the editors Eclipse hide all other windows except the one you write code in and when you do that again(clicking the tab of the document all windows comeback again).
Is there a similar feature in Visual Studio 2013?
Update: I found Auto Hide in Window Menu, but I don't want auto hide, I want to click something to hide windows and click again to show them.
As a programmer i love shortcut keys which is very helpful for productive work. I've search question as you mentioned. But i did not get proper answer. then i've searched solution for me which might helpful to you.
Step 1: Go to visual studio
Step 2: From tool menu open Options menu
Step 3: Go Environment -> Keyboard
Step 4: Select item Window.AutoHideAll from list
Step 5: Set short cut in "Press shortcut keys textbox". I've set Ctrl+Alt+] then click on Assign & then ok.
Step 6: Final step. Use above shortcut to hide all window other than editor window.
View | Full Screen
(In my key bindings: shift+ctrl+enter.)
However, double clicking on an editor tab also works, this is provided by one of the extensions I use, but I'm not sure which.)
Richards answer does work, but has the side effect of maximizing the whole of Visual Studio as well. Sometimes (e.g. when comparing editor text to some other text), I would like Visual Studio to only take half the screen. A solution I found in Visual Studio 2019 was:
Window | Save Window Layout (call it something like Normal layout)
Unpin all the other panes you don't want to see, ToolBox, Solution Explorer, Build Results etc. Typically Left, Right and Bottom
Window | Save Window Layout, call it say maximized Editor.
Window | Apply Window Layout, you can choose Normal or Maximized editor
Visual Studio assigns these shortcut keys automatically of Ctrl+Alt+1 and Ctrl+Alt+2 to the first two Apply Window Layout choices
Ok, if you're like me, you've accidentally dragged one of the many, many panes in Visual Studio around and spent some tedious time getting things back in order again.
Is there any way to lock down all the panes in Visual Studio so they cannot be dragged and placed elsewhere ?
When you have your pane layouts (as well as your fonts, toolbars, colour schemes and whatnot) the way you like them, export your settings (Tools, Import and Export Settings) and give the file a sensible name. Then if you have a spot of accidental dragging, just import your saved ones. This is better than Reset Layout if your preferred layout is not the default.
As far as I know, no. But everything for getting for working with tabs and tab groups is inside the "Window" menu item in VS. But if you want to reset everything back to the way it was why not try:
Window -> Reset Windows Layout
You might also want to check out this Arranging and Using Windows in Visual Studio, I think you might be able to create a workspace, save it and if needed reset back to it after you moved windows around.
Export your settings according to Mar's answer and then check out this extension:

A real lifesaver :)
Feature request on User Voice:
Lock/Unlock Docked Window Layout
You can reset Visual Studio windows back to the default by going to Window->Reset Window Layout (Visual Studio 10). Other versions have something similar. This helps the tedium on dragging the windows back in order.
Does anyone know where can I enable the bar that let me switch between different views (Design,split,..) in Visual Studio 2010 ? I can't find it and it is not enables by default
If you go into the Visual Studio Tools -> Options menu, under HTML Designer -> General there is a checkbox to enable or disable the HTML designer. Checking this and restarting VS will do the trick and show the Design/Split/Source options at the bottom again.
I really prefer the Code Optimized setup but do need on occasion to hit the design view, shame it does not seem easier to expose and, when exposed, takes up more UI than it really needs to.
Do you have the Design/source tabs down in the bottom left corner of the window? (just above where your debug & immediate windows appear from in the default view). If you do, look further to the right of them, there is a splitter bar you can drag up to produce the split mode.
It's a corrupt installation, try reintall the VS
I also cannot see the Design/Source tab split. I could have sworn it was in VS2010 RC. Did they take it out of retail?? (I'm working with an Activity xaml file)
go to Tool->Option->General->Enabe Html Designer
