I can't imagine this issue happens for everyone because it renders Web Essentials completely unusable, so I'm really confused as to what's going on.
Here's what I would like to accomplish: a simple "a" tag block nested within another block (in this case, "body")
HOWEVER! The second I type "a", an intellisense dropdown pops up with suggestions.
I do not do anything to invoke this dropdown aside from typing "a". Once I then press space or open curly bracket, "align-content" is populated from the dropdown.
This is obviously worse than frustrating since it makes using the editor completely impractical. Similar things happen with other tags, too. "span" becomes "ruby-span" for instance.
I've checked the Web Essential settings and there's nothing there to deal with this. Can anyone replicate and help with this issue? Thanks.

Some context
I've recently switched to ubuntu budgie (from unity), and I am really tired of the Plank/panel menu combo. I cannot find a setting that suits me, because depending on my screen setup, there's always something in the wrong place.
I am literally unable to show the menu on certain edges if I activate auto-hide, and if I don't activate it, it's not nice at all, to the point that I have removed the plank thing altogether. (Am I having strange bugs on this OS, or is it really messy?)
My idea
With great frustrations come new ideas. I thought again about one I had in the past. I would like to have a circle menu that pops around my mouse cursor when I press a given key combination (very much the kind of thing you would find in some games).
The main use case is to get "pined" application shortcuts easily when I need them, but perhaps other things would fit well with them (commands ...).
Questions
So my questions are:
Does such a thing already exist?
If it doesn't, is it difficult to realize? (How much time, complexity, ...)
What tools/libraries are needed for such a project? I know I'll find plenty of explanations on the gnome developer website but I could really use some more help.
Since you mention a buggy behaviour on Plank, depending on the screen configuration, I suspect you are suffering from this bug. In short: Plank's returned values for the space it needs are not always correct in multi monitor setup.
A neat option to replace at least part of the functionality is Ulauncher, by default called from a shortcut, but you could trigger it from anything that is capable of running its command.
Since Ulauncher's window simply identifies in the window list, you can easily write a script to move it to the current mouse position.
In case you'd need any help in that, just leave a comment.
Not sure if you are also referring to quick access of the window list, but for that you could use the Window Previews applet, or even the Workspace Overview applet, so life without Plank is possible.
This is kind of silly, but the answer is eluding me and the issue is driving me a bit bonkers. Every now and then Excel decides to not let me use ' and " properly, forcing me to press another key before it appears. The thing is, the only solution I can ever find to this problem is changing the keyboard layout. For this very reason, I only have US English as a keyboard option and yet Excel still pulls this prank on me. It's also only Excel doing it, I can type totally normally in web browsers as well as Word.
Is it possible I accidentally hit some setting or something? Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Eventually it just sort of goes away, but it might be days before that happens, so I'm thinking there must be a button I'm bumping on accident that is toggling this setting.
Let me say at outset that I'm using old technology by today's standards! This happens in MFC on Visual Studio 2005 and running under WinXP. (If it 'aint broke.... ;-) )
I have a dialog based app which has a CTabCtrl with two tabs. Each contains a CListCtrl. These work perfectly under normal circumstances. They populate correctly and show and hide as they should. When I first open the application the display selection is correct. If I then minimize the dialog and restore, the CList Ctrl does not show, the tab is blank. It is the only control which has this problem. Another CListCtrl outside of the CTabCtrl does show up correctly. If I then swap tabs and back again, the other tab shows up then the first appears as normal.
This does not happen if I access any other part of the dialog before minimising, it is only when minimising is the absolute first action I take. It also happens with the CListCtrl I have in the other tab if I set this tab to be selected on startup in OnInitDialog where I set up the CTabCtrl.
I have actually solved the effect of this problem by adding into my OnSysCommand(...) the following:
if ((nID & 0xFFF0) == SC_RESTORE)
{
m_ctrlReadList.Invalidate();
}
but it bugs me that I'm adding code to solve a problem which only happens in such odd circumstances. I can't help thinking that there is something I have missed in the setup which is leading to this behaviour. Can anyone offer any explanation as to what is causing it in the first place?
My explanation is based on the facts of what I have found but this has been a learning experience for me so apologies if I get some of it a little confused, I'm still letting it settle in my mind.
Along with this problem I found another which turned out to be relevant. From the nature of the program I'm writing, my CListCtrls needed fixed width headers. Now that turned out to be another thing I couldn't set up! I just needed to prevent the user from grabbing and resizing the header's dividers or double clicking them to autosize, and of course there is functionality in the CListCtrl based on its child CHeaderCtrl to set this up isn't there? Well apparently not. LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP for example isn't the way.
So I explored trying to capture messages which would allow me to myself, and what do you know, I couldn't! I could trap a few but not the ones I needed. I was looking for HDN_BEGINTRACK and HDN_DIVIDERDBLCLICK. (We won't go into the fact that you HAVE TO deal with both A and W versions of those separately!) The CHeaderCtrl is a child of the CListCtrl but it sends its messages back to the CDialog as the CListCtrl's parent. I tried there using both my list's and 0 as ID which headers apparently use. Many of them just plain didn't appear there at all.
So I created my own CListCtrl class inheriting from CListCtrl, overrode OnNotify and they turned up there. I simply prevented CListCtrl::On Notify from being called for those messages and it worked, no resize functionality at all.
I also played with the Z-order too which could have been relevant. I didn't explain earlier but this and another list are on two tabs, exactly aligned over each other. Selecting the tabs HIDEs and SHOWs each of the lists in turn. The other list had no display problems even when I changed the default display in OnInitDialog to show it at start up.
It was under the problematic one. So changing the Z-order in OnInitDialog where I set them up - did nothing! And to rub it in that second list was also unresizeable by default just as I wanted and I couldn't find out why. Their Properties listed exactly the same and there was nowhere in the code where any different aspect was set manually for either, they were effectively theoretically identical, but practically not so. So frustrating!!!
And the upshot of it is that now that the header resize issue is solved my display problem has vanished too! It looks to me and to a few others out there too who report similar symptoms as myself as though the CListCtrl is another one of the slightly flaky ones and needs a little massaging to get the best out of it.
I hope that makes sense to those of you out there who know this control well. I was surprised how simple the solution was, but it also surprised me that the diagnostic process was so difficult. It may of course come down to the ageing system I work within. Nowadays I do this only for fun and the expense of updating VS from 2005 for occasional use is not a high priority. I am sure that some of the symptoms will not show under other build and run environments but it may be worth having the issue and my solution on record somewhere for Google to find for others.
I've got a Visual Studio extension that I am working on. I have implemented some error tagging, which works just fine. However, some of the errors reference other locations in the code. I would like that the user can click on these locations and be taken there. The definition for ErrorTag permits an Object as the tooltip, which is not terrifically helpful, and the documentation seemed quite resistant as to what this should actually be. So far I have only been able to use a String as a tooltip.
In addition, the error popup is destroyed when the user leaves the error text span. I would need it to remain whilst the user is still on the text span or the popup content. I have discovered a PopupStyles enumeration which can control this behaviour, but I am unsure how to apply it. I would need to use the DismissOnMouseLeaveTextOrContent member to set the appropriate behaviour.
How can I implement an interactive error tooltip?
Edit: I discovered that a UIElement is a valid argument here- I replaced the String with a Label, for example. Some formatting issues aside, I still need to know how to change the popup style.
The error popup is intended to be a static tooltip and nothing more. It's not supposed to be interactive.
The PopupStyles enumeration appears to be used for the ISpaceReservationManager and IToolTipProvider -- there's no real connection to the tagging API at all. What you might be able to do is listen for the IWpfTextView.MouseHover event, and then use one of these APIs to trigger the tooltip that can be interacted with.
I have this strange problem on my web page where if you click below the left side-panel, all the links get highlighted. It happens in firefox, not IE. I don't know why its only the side-panel that it happens to. Its not really a big deal but its extremely annoying to me, is there any way to stop it? If you want to check it out, the site is http://www.bhslaughter.com/
Not to sound harsh, but that's a serious case of div-itis. You might want to check the number of links that you have, the open and closing of the div's, empty anchor links and the wrapping of your multiple tables.
Good luck with your project.
Well I found out what it was. I had the left side menu floated inside the table. It was a left over from before I used the table to layout the page
