Debugging unusable in SP1   

Hi,
just installed SP1 for .net 3.5 and vs 2008.

Now when I am debugging, devenv uses 100% cpu, and the text editor
window is inactive. So for example on breakpoints the code I am
stopped at is not displayed. Scrollbars can be adjusted but the text
shown in the text area is not updated, i can click on other tabs and
the tabs select. but the text area does not refresh. If I minimize the
window and maximize it again, the entire text area is grey.

Interestingly if I go to full-screen, it works normally in full
screen, but going back to normal the problem remains. This makes
debugging extremely difficult.

Any suggestions?

Oolis.

Re: Debugging unusable in SP1   

Further info: Problem appears to be related to the Autos window. When
this is displayed the problem occurs, when it is not displayed the
problem does not appear. Other windows such as the callstack or locals
do not cause the problem. When the Autos is active but hidden or auto
hidden (appears as a tab) the problem does not occur. When it is
floating the problem occurs.

Re: Debugging unusable in SP1   

Try it with a "Hello, world" program with the Autos window displayed, and 
see if the problem still happens. If it does not, then the issue will be the 
Autos window when it's displaying your program, and I'd look for a recursive 
property or something like that.

RE: Debugging unusable in SP1   

hi,
i found one more problem while in debug mode with SP1. when i disable the 
breakpoints(NOT delete), it appears as the breakpoints are deleted. although 
the breakpoints are still there, they are not shown like unfilled red circle 
or hidden. when i open the breakpoint window, i can see the set breakpoints 
which are now in the disable state. on enabling them from the breakpoint 
window, they again start appering.
