VS 2005 - VB.NET Pretty Listing (Reformatting) bug

3 New Member
I sometimes work with more than one instance of VS2005 and recently the "pretty listing" checkbox found in the Options\Text Editor\Basic\VB Specific\ menu has been giving me fits.

Sometimes the VS editor just freaks out and won't let me type anything without putting parentheses around it. For example:

D(i)m
i(f)
t(r)y

The only way I can fix this is to restart VS 2005 or to turn off "pretty listing" (which I don't really want to do because of the benefits).

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like reformatting your code is not a bug but a feature of pretty listing. I read some stuff online about it for VB and it doesnt look like its a very flexible feature. You might want to consider turning it off unless you don't mind pretty listing mucking with all of your code.
