Visual Studio 2010: Editor stops responding to keyboard

Question

I\'ve got this very odd bug that appears to be a quirk in Visual Studio 2010: Sometimes, when moving the cursor into double quotes of a CSS style=\"\"

Answer 1

I frequently encounter this editor freeze, not just on CSS quotes but any file arbitrarily. I have a dual monitor setp and I have the doucment windows one one monitor and all tool windows on the next one. Sometimes, certain tool windows would freeze too (i.e. not respond to click).

Previously, I used to shutdown/restart IDE; but serendipitously, I discovered that switching to/from Full Screen mode, restores sanity. So now everytme I see a freeze, mode switching comes to rescue.

Not sure if this will solve your issue, but worth a shot.

Rant: In general, I find this new WPF based product very falky and unstable than its predeccessors.
