Why does the Visual Studio editor show dots in blank spaces?

问题

I have a strange bug in the Visual Studio text editor. All my blank spaces are replaced by a \".\"

public class Person
{
  int age;
}

looks like this

public..class..Person..........................
{..................
..int age;...................
}.....................

I reset the settings to default. Didn\'t work. I also re-installed VS2008. Still didn\'t work. What\'s the error?

回答1:

Visual Studio is configured to show whitespace.

Press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W.

If you are using C# keyboard mappings: (thanks Simeon)

Press Ctrl+E, S.

If you want to use the menu: (thanks angularsen)

Edit > Advanced > View White Space

回答2:

Looks like you have the view white space option enabled. Go to Edit -> Advanced -> and uncheck "View Whitespace"

回答3:

In Visual Studio 2012
Go to
Edit -> Advanced -> View White Spaces
Or
Press Ctrl+R, Ctrl+W

~ FOR VISUAL STUDIO 6 ~

use: ctrl+shift+8 to toggle on/off.

(or manualy go to: Edit> Advance > "View Whitespaces")

goodluck!

Works also for Visual Studio 2008, when Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard/Mapping Scheme: Visual C++ 6 is selected.

Press ctrl + E followed by S key to remove the lines in Visual Studio 10

回答8:

go to File -> Preferences -> Settings, this will open two panels side by side, the left one is default setting and the right one is user setting, you can add your setting on right panel, for this you can add "editor.renderWhitespace": "all".

In Visual Studio vesrion 1.34.0 View -> Toggle Render Whitespace

回答10:

In visual studio 2015, goto->view->formatting marks, unselect show

In Visual Studio 2019, this can also be configured in Tools -> Options -> General -> View whitespace
