VS2005 code editor stays in runtime

[Bryan]

I am developing a VB project in VS2005 that has SP2 installed. This
is the process that is causing a problem:
Open VS2005, open the project
Write some code in the code editor
Run the project in debug mode, test some of the forms
Close the main form which returns me back to the VS2005 code editor
*At this point, when I type anything in the code editor, parenthesis
are inserted after every letter I type. Also I can't backspace past
two characters. In general, the code editor is trying to autocomplete
the expression after every character that I type. It is like it still
thinks it is in runmode or something.
I have to exit the project, then reopen it for this behavior to stop.
Has anyone else experienced this? Have any suggestions?

Hvae you tried this on a different machine? Is it your version of Visual
Studio, or your code somehow?

Have you tried putting in a breakpoint at the Form_Closing of your last
form, and then stepping through to see if it's doing something?

I had issues like this a while back - exactly as you describe here and
it drove me nuts. From memory I think it was actually nothing to do
with Visual Studio itself but with one of the Add-ins I had loaded -
you might want to check those if you have any (disable them one at a
time to see if the error goes away then you'll know the culprit).

Hope that helps

I wish that was it, but I don't have any add-ins installed.

I have done some more research into the problem to find a strange
pattern. First of all, I am using components from Developer Express,
such as a data grid and some command buttons. Here is the pattern.
If I am editing code, then press start while the active tab is a code
editor, and then upon program exit I try to type in the code editor,
the problems arise. however, if my active tab is a form designer when
I press start, then upon program exit I make the active tab the code
editor for that form, the problems do not happen.
It appeared that I needed to be looking at a form designer when
starting my project to avoid the bug. But it gets stranger.
If the active tab when starting the program is a code editor, then
upon program exit I immediately switch to the form designer of said
code, then back to the code, the problem does not happen.
If the only tab open is a code editor, the problem never arises.
Why would the form designer be messing with the code editor portion of
the IDE?

Does the behaviour occur in an app where you do NOT use any of the Developer
Express components?

I'm going to answer this, because Bryan and I did some back-and-forth
e-mail. It did turn out to be a problem with his plug-ins, and not related
to his code or to Visual studio. He got a hot fix for it, and his problem
is resolved.
