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.

I do not know how, but when writing code, two panels open for suggestions and both are opened in a row. Unfortunately I couldn't find how to solve it.
These things sometimes be caused by plugins like CodeRush and Resharper that working together. I think it is necessary to use only one of these plugins. But I am not sure. The problem seems to be caused by the window being unable to be adjusted.
You can follow these steps from Visual Studio.
Window -> Close All Documents
Window -> Reset Window Layout
Exit Visual Studio to be sure, then go back in.
When the same happens to me, update:
In fact, the overlapping things are that both Resharper and IntelliSense show completion list after a character is typed. To prevent this, it is necessary to turn off either the Resharper or IntelliSense related feature. I prefered to close IntelliSense's completion list with help from this site. For this, I followed these steps:
From Visual Studio, select “Tools” > “Options“.
Select “Text Editor” in the left pane.
Select the language you are using (C#, C++, Basic, etc.).
For C# and Basic, choose “IntelliSense“. For C or C++, choose “Advanced“, then scroll to the “IntelliSense” section.
For C# and Basic, check the “Show completion list after a character is typed” to disable it. For C/C++, you will have a few options, such as “Disable Auto Updating“, “Disable Squiggles“, and “Disable #include “Auto Complete“. Set any of these to “True” to turn them off.
I've already done some searching on this, but to no avail, and it's driving me insane.
I use the dark theme in VS 2013, and I have a selection of add-ons installed that change how the text is displayed in some circumstances. The two that immediately spring to mind are ReSharper (v9) and VS Commands.
The issue I have is that whenever I go into the VS options, or even ReSharper options, I'm greeted with some dark text, and some light text, which actually makes using the options extraordinarily difficult, as shown here:
If anybody knows what's causing this, or how to fix it, I'll be eternally grateful. I've tried resetting the font colour settings, but nothing seems to be touching it. I don't particularly want to reset all of my VS settings, so I'm holding off on that in the hope that somebody can point me in the right direction.
Update (21 Aug 15):
I've noticed today that my ReSharper options appear to be correct when I open Visual Studio initially - not opening via a solution file. As soon as I open a solution, the colours change to how they are in the screenshot. It doesn't appear to matter what solution I open, but as soon as a solution is opened the problem presents itself again.
I've seen cases where people are asking how to disable on double click.
But i'd like to go one further and disable the feature altogether, does anyone know how to? I don't mean all windows (Properties, Debug, Output) just code windows (Pages, Controls, other files)
I'm using VS2010 SP1 + PowerTools and I keep undocking code windows when selecting the tab if i accidently drag down and it's really frustrating!
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers,
P.
I also don't know any option to disable it, but you can restore the window to its last position by "Ctrl + Double-Click" on the tab's title bar.
Hope it helps.
These are two same question:

How to disable floating tabs in Visual Studio 2010
For anyone who actually wants the answer to this, in my version of Productivity Power Tools (v10.0.20626.18) there is a way to disable this "feature".
Tools->Options->Productivity Power Tools->Document Tab Well->General->Advanced Options...
Under the "Floating Tab Well" group box, uncheck "Enable float on double-click"

So, code blocks (which can be collapsed like #region blocks) have corresponding markers (+ symbols) to the left of the text editor. These markers should be placed right where the code block starts. My problem is that they are shifted upwards a bit.
Here is a screenshot in case I didn't explain the issue clearly enough: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3489/04071173010.jpg
upd: This behavior was caused by an extension (thx Nija). In my case it was Presentation Zoom. However disabling and enabling it again fixed the problem.
Thanks for help!
Try deselecting automatic outlining mode by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Advanced and unchecking "Enter outlining mode when files open".
Restart Visual Studio.
If that doesn't work, try installing the Productivity Power Tools addon, which add more flexibility to the existing Visual Studio features and may correct your outlining.
If all else fails you might have to do an uninstall / repair.
The thing that often helps me in this situation ... is to quickly delete all the xmlns namespace definitions and then add them back with undo (Ctrl-Z).
I know, odd, but it often works.
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
