Why does Visual Studio show a :2 after the filename? - visual-studio-2013

Has anyone seen this?
My solution today opened with this for the tab's filename:
<originalFilename>:2
This happens every so often and I'm wondering what's going on.

Unity2020.3.9f1c1 Hold On(busy for 03:29)

This thing is a bit annoying.
How do I get rid of it.
Whenever I open a project and open a C # file in Visual Studio.
First, a dialog box will appear saying that Visual Studio is being opened.
Then this dialog box will always be displayed.
And it won't go away.
I could just ignore it and continue with Unity.
But it's still a little annoying.
This is not a very serious problem.
But it's really annoying.
I searched Google for a long time and couldn't find the answer.
I hope someone can give me some hints.
Disable Compress Assets on Import for faster loading.
Unity Documentation
And move project to a SSD or M.2
I changed the project name from Chinese to English.
Now the problem is solved.
This was not an issue in previous 2019 versions of Unity.
So I think it's a bug.
Make sure your project path and project name contains only English letters, this should help.
I had the same issue on Unity 2020.3.35f1. This helped me out.

Recurrent message "Cannot navigate to the symbol under the caret"

I'm using Visual Studio 2015 CE. About a week ago I started seeing a message box showing the error mentioned in the subject. It happens only if I try to open a .cs file and it's completely preventing me from working :(.
I also noticed that the projects in my solution are being "lazy loaded". That means that I open the solution and in the solution explorer I see my projects listed with a label that reads "(loading)". Once I click on them, they get loaded.
I think it could be due to a windows update, probably, because I also noticed that while working with the browser (Chrome or Edge) F12 seems to be automatically pressed because the developer tools are opened randomly. That kind of makes a consistent pattern with the issue in VS. I uninstalled the latest updates but still have the issue.
Now, I don't thing there's something wrong with my keybord, even that's possible.
I saw many posting about this issue but couldn't find a solution yet.
Does anybody know what could be wrong here? I'm about to completely reinstall my computer.
Thanks!

Fields in the XAML editor Property window becoming un-responsive

Edit: I see "Silverlight -" is in front of my question, which I realize may have something to do with the alphabetical order of my tabs... really Visual Studio 2013 should be in front, anyone know if that can be changed?
I've been using the newer Visual Studio 2013 for about a week now, and I've found some quirks with it. The one that seems to happen the most is when I'm in the XAML editor working on something, suddenly if I go over to the property window I can't enter anything. I'm not running/debugging. I can type stuff in the regular XAML code editor window.
Even stranger, one of the times, I could get the cursors to appear in the fields. I typed a bunch of junk and just one character from what I types appeared. Another time I couldn't enter values into the properties, but I could double click on an event in the events window and create a new event handler. Just a minute ago I had the opposite, where I couldn't double click in the events window.
I think VS 2013 introduced async handling of more things, could it be related to that? Or perhaps because I'm using Silverlight? Right now my only workaround is to restart VS, does anyone have any knowledge about this? Anyone else experienced this?
I'm going to submit a bug report, but it would be a while before there's a patch, so I'm wondering if maybe someone understand the problem better and has a workaround? Or maybe just confirm that this exists and that I'm not crazy/my computer's haunted.
Edit:
I should mention another weird thing that happened two nights ago. I thought it was some how my doing, but I never figured out how I could have managed it without noticing. I was working on a piece of code, went to run after changing a few lines, and suddenly I had a ton of compiler errors. I go over to a user control I haven't touched in hours and suddenly the main LayoutRoot grid is completely empty. Luckily I'd committed to source control, but still...
I found an easy way to deal with this problem. It happens a lot after debugging so what I did was I created a batch file on my desktop containing this line taskkill /f /im XDesProc.exe and I run it every time the properties start misbehaving. Its the quickest way to reload the designer's functionality. I submitted this bug to microsoft they claim it will be included in the next update.
Me and another guy are developing a silverlight app and having the same exact problem. I accidentally found where the bug lies and how to mess with it to allow you to type "very briefly". Apparently this has something to do with tooltips. If you hover over anything in the property window when this bug is happening and allow a tooltip to popup while your cursor is blinking in a field, for the duration that the tooltip is up you can resume typing normal. As soon as the tooltip times out and disappears you can't type. So the only way you can edit or search properties is while a mouse tooltip is floating active. Very unusual. Can't seem to find any kind of tooltip settings in the program and the situation is very hard to find on google because search results assume your talking about programming tooltips. As far as I know we have had this issue since before release candidate. We are currently on official update 1 with the same problem persisting.

visual studios 2012 after opening one file, I cant find the previous file I had open in the Document Well

Anyone know how to make the document well act like vs2010? Every time I open a file in the solution I lose the previous file unless I pin it. I want it to act like a stack.
Thanks
Nick
I you double click a file you have the same behavior as in VS10. You can deactivate the preview function in solution explorer (i believe one of the right buttons - unfortunately I have no VS12 by the hand at the moment, so I can tell the exact position).

Visual Studio ">of" command causes solution explorer to go wacky

I'm working with a fairly large solution right now in Visual Studio 2005 and whenever I try to use the ">of" command in the toolbar search box it causes my solution explorer go haywire. Specifically, all of the folders start showing that there aren't any files in them anymore and I have to hit the "Refresh" button in order to get them all to show up. This is extremely annoying so I never use the ">of" command anymore, but a jump-to-file command sure does come in handy.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a better alternative to jumping to a specific file by filename?
Note: ReSharper is not an option. It is too slow on a solution of this size. I tried it out and each load up took 10-15 minutes.
First, thanks for getting me to discover that you can run commands from the Find Combo box.
I haven't experienced your problem (not enough files in my solution?), but the better alternative you mentioned could be Visual Assist's 'Open File in Workspace' command. It's lightning fast for me with 2500 or so files in a solution.
