Why is Telerik JustCode so confused? - visual-studio-2010

I have been using JustCode(latest ver) for about 2 months now, and have started just turning it off most of the time.
The final straw was today when I wasted about an hour trying to find out why I was getting an error(along the lines of no overload with those parameters) when I was sure the code was correct. Finally I turned JC off and the error went away.
Why does it wrongly report errors?
Why does it sometimes disable keys like backspace in a normal code block?
Why does it sometimes color the code in an ASPX page like it is commented out(all green), when it is not(after disabling it VS colors it correctly).
There are lots of other niggly problems like if my mouse is over the word im typing intellisense will not come up etc.
So am I using it wrong or something? It really does look like a promising product from the features videos etc on their site - so I hope the problem is with me :)

Sorry to hear you had such problems with JustCode. I suppose you used the Q2 version that was released in July. Some of the problems that you describe – hiding the intellisense, blocking some keys – are problems that others have also reported and were fixed in the Service Pack that was recently released. Please, go ahead and download the latest version. It has other fixes as well than could solve other niggly problems that you may have.
In case you find yourself wondering why some error is showing while you are sure your code is correct – Visual Studio successfully builds the project – try refreshing the code analysis (in JustCode menu choose – Refresh Code Analysis). That may clear the errors. If the error shows even after that – then position the cursor onto the error and hit Alt + Enter (or choose Fix… from JustCode menu). At the bottom of the popup menu you will find Report Good Code Red. This will send over a report for the issue to the team and they’ll contact you with more information on the problem. If you are irritated from the error you can choose Ignore This Error / Warning from the same popup menu.
One thing that you can always count on is accurate and prompt response from the team. If you have any problems or suggestions – please, go ahead and write a support ticket or forum post in Telerik’s web site.
Hope this helps.

Visual Studio method/variable menu keeps disappearing (Also not sure what terminology I should use to find related answers)

I would like to demonstrate the problem I am having via this video on my google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RcDn1UQtbcWwILkaDaf5MgI-5PL6NS0-/view?usp=sharing
Part 1 of the video) I do not do anything with the method menu for a moment so I may attempt to read its information. Something happens that causes it to close.
Part 2 of the video) I try to see if I can use my mouse to try and select from the method menu. However, something also happens that causes the method menu to close.
Part 3 of the video) I am trying to quickly use the down arrow key to browse through the options, but some process seems to happen as my cursor turns into a loading circle, causing me to actually go down lines of code using the down arrow key.
I have never encountered this before, and I am not sure what is causing this. There were a few times earlier today when I could use the down arrow key and leave the method menu on for a bit to read more information and things seemed fine for a moment, and then there are other times like these when the method menu is disappearing on me. I'm not sure how to search this up because I'm not really sure what appropriate terminology I should use when trying to see who else has had this problem.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2019, version 16.9.4 with the .NET Framework version of 4.8.04084

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!

Visual Studio 2013 autocomplete turning off randomly

I know I might sound like a woman complaining about sounds her car is making. But Visual Studio keeps turning off autocomplete.
Sometimes it is for a single file. Sometimes for all files in the current project. Sometimes for every project that I have open.
It just happens randomly, I might go a whole week and it doesn't happen. Or sometimes, like this morning, it turns off 3 times in one hour.
Google seems to offer nothing on this. Any ideas what might be the issue?
I have also ran into this. I usually have to go to Tools => Options => Text Editor => C# (or whatever language you are using). On that page there is an option for statement completion. Be sure Auto List Members and Parameter information are checked. After I do that it seems to work ok for months. Sometimes, they are checked and I uncheck, then recheck them to solve it.

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 Studio 2010 "Preparing Solution" dialog

What the crap is this "Preparing Solution" dialog that VS 2010 shows when I open solutions? Does this show up for everyone or is something screwed up on my install?
Anyone know what its actually doing?
Here's the official history, from Cameron McColl:
In Dev10 we invested in improving solution load time by looking at making the load asynchronous. Unfortunately due to time constraints this work didn’t make it into Dev10 so instead we decided to at least make the user experience slightly better by giving the user feedback on what was going on during solution load. Initially this involved a dialog that presented accurate feedback on how many projects were being loaded along with the name of the currently loading project. Early testing of this experience revealed that there was often a non-trivial delay (i.e. the spinning donut and “not responding” window title) after the projects were loaded and the existence of the dialog made this delay very apparent once the dialog was dismissed. So what is the delay? There are 2 main things going on after the solution projects have been loaded. First all previously loaded documents/editors are reopened and for some designer files this can take a few seconds. Secondly and usually much worse we call NotifyOnAfterSolutionOpen which is an extension point in VS. Any subscriber to this event gets to run their code at this point and quite often this code is very expensive. For Dev10 we didn’t have the time to go improve the perf of all of these subscribers and so it was felt that a second dialog was required to make it clear that the Solution Load was still underway. What really sucks about the second dialog is that it doesn’t tell you what part of the code is causing the delay and worse the progress control is the marquee style which means it’s non determinant (unlike the first dialog).
Moving forward we are continuing to investigate ways to make solution load truly asynchronous and as such never show such nasty dialogs.
In the dialog's defense, our research indicates that most people prefer a modal status dialog over the spinning donut or unresponsive UI. Of course, everyone prefers no delay at all, and we’re working on that for Dev11.
Delete the solutionname.sln.docstates.suo file. If Visual Studio gets stuck reopening the documents that you had open when you last closed the solution.
It's normal as far as I'm aware. It's loading the solution file and performing house-keeping to ensure all the tools are appropriately prepared for you. Not sure what you are getting riled about.
