In Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition (Version 10.0.30319.1), I noticed tonight that for some reason I kept getting a wider window for quick find. I verified by exiting, restarting and retesting the bug conditions.
Steps to Reproduce
Open existing project (I don't think it matters which one)
Press ctrlf and give it something to search for (>?) in "current document"
Press enter
Press ctrlf
Press enter
Go to Step 4.
Can you reproduce a slowly expanding quick find window? Do I have some sort of wacky bugged out system?
A bug has been opened on Connect Tracker.
This has been fixed:
One of our top reported Microsoft Connect issues since RTM has been that the Find and Replace dialog grows 16px on each use. On repeated use, this can quickly take up your entire screen real estate. We now have a patch available for this issue.
I followed the steps above using Visual Studio Version 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel and could not reproduce your bug.

Many times a day, on a new work computer, Visual Studio's code window turns red and blue all of a sudden! The problem only goes away if I restart that instance of Visual Studio or re-apply the fonts & colors settings, closing and opening a file/tab doesn't help.
Only the currently visible file gets the glitch at first when it happens, other open tabs generally retain their proper colors until I reopen them or I open new files - which are then shown with the glitched colors. Sometimes certain types of text in other open files turns blue though, like a virus spreading ;)
I'm guessing there's a plugin or a missing hotfix or glitchy graphics driver but I haven't figured out what the problem is yet and it's driving me nuts.
I've had this problem once before but don't recall how I fixed it, it's been a while since then and I have many similar installations since that's not showing this issue.
There's also a Microsoft Connect issue on it that is closed with status "cannot reproduce" - and it's easy for me to reproduce by simply launching IE9. Sometimes, however, the problem appears without me launching IE.
Visual Studio 2010 SP1 on Windows 7 SP1, ReSharper 6.1 and Reflector 7.5.4.20. I've disabled hardware acceleration in VS with no difference, it's an Nvidia Geforce 210 with a dual screen setup with primary screen on the right. Also, the markup shown is not written by me and contains no sensitive information
This seems to be a small hiccup with the dark theme in Visual Studio. It happened to me when I did a system resume with the VS project still open. The solution to this is just restarting Visual Studio. Works like a charm.
It seems it actually helped to update Nvidias graphics driver, even though it was just a few months old and for quite an old and trusted graphics card. Oh well - now I'm happy that the problem is gone, and upset that it was so easy.
Found this be searching for an answer to the same issue.
They way I fix it is to open Tools -> Options and then click on Environment -> Fonts & Colors to reset the coloring for the current buffer.
It appears to be VS is not recoloring the current buffer after locking the screen for at least 4 mins. I believe this to be a bug in the themes handling in VS, but I this is really the only place I could find this mentioned.
Just installed SP1 for VS 2010 hoping that it will help, but it does not.
I faced the same issue with vs2013...
This solved the issue..http://madskristensen.net/post/visual-studio-update-2-and-web-essentials
Since the past week I'm having a very bothering issue that blocks me from using Visual Studio.
For instance, here's what I normally see:
But as soon as I scroll a bit down (either with the arrow key, mouse wheel or the scroll bar), this is what I get:
As you can see, part of the frame seems to be "locked" in the screen.
The only way to see it right, is to make some other window cover VS's window, then going back to VS I see it right.
This is what I have tried (checking if the issue was solved after each step):
Check for updates
Repair VS2010
Remove R# and any other extension/add-in
Reinstall R# and any other extension/add-in
Remove VS2010 and any related software
Reinstall VS2010 + SP1 and updates
Remove any other unused software
Remove any recently installed/updated software
Run CCleaner
None of these steps solved the issue.
This happens only with VS2010, regardless the project or solution I'm opening.
I think you need to start looking beyond Visual Studio for issues. The next thing I'd look at is your graphics driver. Make sure you have the latest available version.
I have the same problem with VS 2012.
Scrolling up and down, does not refresh sections (rectangles) on my text editor view.
(unfortunately I've not enough reputation to post a screenshot.)
I managed to workaround it in VS 2012, by floating the editor.
i.e. Right Click on a file tab / Float All.
Otherwise I tried everything posted here, without any luck.
Hopefully someone out there knows how to undo this magic.
I had the same problem and it was due to the DameWare Development Mirror Driver.
I disabled it and the problem went away.
I'm having the same issue in VS 2015 pro.
Setting the editor windows to float fixes the problem which definitely looks like a bug in visual studio.
I'm on a Citrix virtual Desktop and the problem appears to be that a "column" of the editor (on the left side) is not redrawing properly after scrolling right, left, or down. For some reason scrolling up is fine.
For me, using VS 2013 Pro, the cause was having the JAWS Screen Reader installed, which, ominously, included a video interceptor. Once uninstalled VS started working normally again.
I had this same problem and it turns out it wasn't a graphics driver issue. The company I work for uses software that acts like a virtual monitor to remotely log into our PCs to install software and fix problems. It turns out that this extra virtual monitor was the problem. Disabling it fixed the scrolling in Visual Studio.
I had the same problem in Visual Studio 2017. When I changed the color theme to 'dark' the problem seemed to be fixed
I have been a fan of the new "Navigate To" feature that was released with Visual Studio 2010 since I saw Scott Hanselman using it in one of his presentation.
For some unknown reason, it randomly stops working.
I hit "Ctrl + ,", type what I am looking for and then nothing happens.
It seems to wait for something and the window shows no progression in the research.
The only way I found to fix this is to restart Visual Studio and wait for the problem to happen again.
Does anyone have any idea why Visual Studio is behaving like this and how I can fix this?
I got this working by simply selecting an item from the Search Items dropdown. Once you do that, the search starts working again as expected.
I got this working again by uninstalling ReShaper. It fixed some other things like the solution wide search aswell. I'm not so happy about the solution though...
Any chance you're using resharper, powercommands, or productivity power tools?
I suspect the issue is related to one of those (I have the same issue), but since it's difficult to reproduce, it's hard to test that.
Is anyone else having issues with the find and replace dialog in Visual Studio 2010?
For as many improvements that have been made for multi monitor support is VS, this is making me crazy.
Whenever I open up the Find and Replace dialog in VS 2010, it often straddles the two monitors. The other dialogs, like Navigate To seem to always work.
Is this making anyone else go a little batty, or is it just me?
Anyone have a fix? Find and Replace VS extension?
Update:
There is a hotfix out for this issue now (KB2268081):
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads
The Find and Replace dialog is now dockable. Dock it with the Properties window, as a good place to start.
Yeah, I noticed the same, it can get pretty annoying.
Based on feedback in Microsoft Connect this is a known issue that should be fixed for VS 2010 SP1.
Source:(1,2)
You may try to use Actual Window Manager (http://www.actualtools.com/windowmanager/) to manage The Find and Replace dialog. Just create a specific rule to save size and position of the dialog and The Find and Replace dialog will appear at the same plase as you closed it last time.
Open Extension Manager - VS2010,
Download and install 2 extensions of the most downloads.
And restart your VS, you will find that Find and replace box will just like VS2012
EDIT #3 : Microsoft has released a 'fix' to this problem which is available here. I haven't had the time to test it, but I those who want to are welcome to leave their feedback here !
Sometimes when I run an application from Visual Studio and it crashes or I stop it using the stop button in the debug menu (Debug->Stop Debugging (Shift-F5)), the console of said application stays open... and never closes. I cannot close it by clicking the 'x' button in the top right corner. I cannot kill the process as it is not even listed in taskmgr.
I have seen this problem documented in different places on the web, but no solution so far.
I am running on windows XP SP3, using visual studio 2008 w/ SP1.
1- What could be causing this ?
2- Is there a fix ?
thanks alot.
JC
EDIT: There is no MyApp.vshost.exe process to close, and closing visual studio does not close the console either. Worse even, if I try to restart my computer windows will hang and never close, I need to do a forced shut down.
EDIT #2 : (from Brad Sullivan, Program Manager - Visual Studio Debugger on March 2nd)
[...] this issue is likely not in Visual Studio since it also occurs in scenarios where Visual Studio is not present. We are in the process of handing over our investigation to the Windows Servicing team.
But for now, removing the KB978037 update and it's related files seems to work.
This is a bug introduced in security update KB978037. Back out this update and you'll be back to normal.

There are a couple of things that could be happening here. Try closing down the following process and see which one, if any close down the Console application as well.
The Hosting Process: Typically named YourExecutable.vshost.exe
Visual Studio
If closing the hosting process fixes the issue then one quick work around is to disable the hosting process itself.
Right Click on Project -> Properties -> Debug -> Uncheck the hosting process
If closing down Visual Studio fixes the problem then it's potentially a bug in Visual Studio. Please file a bug on connect.
