Once upon a time, I could hover over any variable while debugging and stopped at a break-point, and would be able to get that variable's properties and values. I recently discovered this functionality is called a DataTip.
About a month ago, I lost this ability. Now, when I hover over a variable, nothing happens. I never knew how much I loved this feature until I lost it.
Can anyone tell me how I can re-enable DataTips?
I've been through the Debug menus but nothing jumps out at me and yells "HERE. This is what you are looking for!" The internets haven't been fruitful either.
As a side note, the only change that I can remember that occurred around the time that I lost DataTips was connecting to our newly set up TFS for the first time. I don't see how this would affect the DataTips, but stranger things have happened.
I figured it out! Turns out there was one other change I had recently made to VS that was responsible.
Not long ago, co-worker had sent me a link about Debugger Canvas. I thought it looked pretty cool so I gave it a shot. After a while I decided it was not for me but left it sitting around in case I found I had a use for it. Naturally, I completely forgot I had it installed to VS.
Long story short, I stumbled onto a forum post titled Debugger Canvas broke my Data Tips.
Thinking, "why not?", I uninstalled Debugger Canvas via Tools > Extension Manager and viola! My DataTips are back.
This isn't quite a fix if you are actively using Debugger Canvas (until they, themselves fix the issue), but it is certainly a fix for me.
After much searching I discovered why I was having an issue with data tips not showing.
To my knowledge no one has yet mentioned it in all the blogs I scoured.
It wasn't the VS SP1, Debugger Canvas or any other software installation.
As I was about to start systematically uninstalling a bunch of stuff, I realized that my current mouse problems might be contributing to this.
I had a wireless mouse that was acting up. It wouldn't scroll, or activate within a window or allow me to click on the task bar among other things.
So, I spent $20 bucks an bought a wired Microsoft mouse, the cheapest they had.
Well, wouldn't you know my data tips appeared.
Keep in mind I uninstalled/reinstalled my mouse driver already.

Dear developers of Microsoft Teams,
Today when joining a Teams meeting I noticed that I got a pop-up window for the meeting I was about to join. I immediately thought this was pretty weird, as I disabled the setting regarding that functionality.
This specific setting gave the user the option to have meetings be created in a seperate pop-up window, or to keep it in the same original application window.
For me this worked perfectly, als I much preferred to keep everything in one place. However, when searching for this setting in the settings tab, I noticed that the setting is now gone, thus forcing users to work with a pop-up window.
I have no idea why this setting was removed, but I would really love to get it back ASAP. I personally believe it's better to let the users themselves decide how they prefer to use Teams.
As this isn't a new feature that's being requested, but rather asking for a feature to come back from a previous version, I hope that it can be implemented back into Teams soon!
I hope to hear from the team about why the decision to remove the option was made, and if the setting can be brought back!
Kind regards,
Joshua
Could you please rise UserVoice for this.
a coupple days ago, out of the blue I got a message from VS saying: XAML Designer Version xy crashed. Do you want to stop the plug in?
I said yes.
Now, this is my xml page:
The Designer is completely gone. Usually, there would be atab on the left corner to go to the designer but even restarts didnt solve the issue. What can I do?
I hate to answer my own question BUT: Extras- Extensions and UPdates - Android Designer was deactivated there. Hitting activitate solved that obviously. Thanks go.
The icon for Visual Studio on my Windows 7 taskbar is animated with a green bar moving left to right. What does it mean, and how can I stop it?

I've not got any extensions installed, but I do have resharper (version 7 until I can afford to upgrade). I can't find anything relevant through google, and I can't see an option in the options panels.
The animation is used to represent progress. It's the same as for file copies (for example). I've seen ReSharper do this while running unit tests. Perhaps that, or maybe another extension?
I know this is an old post, but I am still experiencing the issue where the animation persists even though the tests have long finished (with VS2015 and Resharper 2016.1.2).
One way to get around this problem is to disable taskbar animations altogether:
I have a website that I am trying to build and have built everything up. I viewed everything locally on my computer then bought a name and found a company to host it. The result is very different to my original vision. Everything seems quite blurry, things that where small before are now bigger and things have moved around.
I wonder if there is anything that I should be putting in my code to make it different? I tested it locally and hosted on chrome.

here's the website, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!
I zoomed in 150% and everything seems fine like that.
Chrome remembers your zoom settings per domain, is it possible you developed using 150% zoom, and the live site is at 100%?
EDIT:
As an aside, I think your site is really hard to navigate. If I have to wait for a box to turn to be able to click on something I want to, I'll close your site really fast... The menu on the bottom is barely noticable. I would also add the static text menu to all the subpages for easier navigation. Sorry, this is not really relevant to the question, I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
I have been developing a media player browser plugin for the past few month using Firebreath, but I do not think this is a Firebreath problem.
Currently I am stuck on this weird problem that occurs when one tries to reload the webpage containing the plugin. The image that was being displayed before the reload will stay stuck on the top of screen. The new reloaded plugin will be alive and well behind it but the old image will stay stuck their on the screen forever. If I scroll or resize the browser or even change URLs the image will stay put, however If I move the browser the image will follow. The image stays after closing a tab, but leaves when closing the window
Here is a screenshot that demonstrates what I am talking about.

Has you can see I left my plugin's page and went to the Firebreath website and the image still persists.
This problem happens on both windows and linux, much less frequently on linux, and happens when using both directx and opengl. But only happens on chrome.
Just wondering if you, or anybody else, has any thoughts, suggestions, or insights as to what might be happening. I've tried everything including atrocious hacks and nothing seems to work.
Thank you.
Your problem is most likely that you aren't tearing down your directx or opengl context when the DetachedEvent fires. AttachedEvent is the earliest you can set it up, and DetachedEvent is the latest you can leave it running.
