For some unknown reason the timeline graph shown on the summary page in Visual Studio 2012 is missing. This is the first time I use the profiler on a new computer and it just isn't there.
This is of course a huge issue as I am not able to filter which part of the run to profile. Typically I want to exclude initialization parts etc.
I've searched high and low for an option to enable/disable it but there seems to be none.
I tried to reinstall VS2012, but that did not help.
Has anyone experienced the same issue and does anyone know how to solve it?

Here's the form in VS 2012 Update 5 for signing code. You get to it by right clicking a project, going to Properties and selecting the Signing tab. The form is only half displayed.
Suspecting this might be related to the fact I'm running this on a high DPI screen, I changed the resolution down. No difference. Also tried running VS in Windows 8 compatibility mode. No difference.
I could maybe edit the .csproj file directly but the schema link is broken. Thanks, Microsoft.
Anyone know a workaround? Have logged a bug in Connect.
I have been having an issue since VS 2012 (currently using 2013) that the panels and windows are constantly all over the place. I have worked with VS for years and this hasn't ever been an issue. I know this has something to do with the .vssettings file but I really don't want to go farting around with it.
I would like something like VSWindowManager PowerToy however that doesn't seem to have been updated since 2006.
Does anyone know how to stabilize the location of windows in panels in VS 2013?
Thanks
There is a VS extension called Layouts O Rama I have been using it for about a week now. and I am very pleased with it, it seems to have calmed down all the window madness I was experiencing with various windows coming up all over creation.
It can be installed using the extension manager Tools > Extensions and updates.
I'm not sure if this is a add-on/extension issue but I'm having a heck of a time with Visual Studio 2012 on two computers. I believe it is DevExpress CodeRush causing the problems as it seems to work fine when I uninstall it but I'm not 100% sure.
I startup VS 2012, answer YES to the Get Latest from TFS 2012 and the solution right-click the solution node in the Solution Explorer and choose Project Dependencies... - it shows nothing checked. Of course the build will fail. I close and restart VS 2012 and then it shows. I typically do this through the course of the DevExpress option to clear the solution cache which causes the solution to reload.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may cause the project dependencies to get lost yet after a restart they are fine again? Is there something I need to delete and rebuild to try and resolve this?
The fix (so it seems) is to not check the option in VS source control settings to do a Get Latest when opening the solution. It seems to prevent the solution from initializing properly. I will consider reporting this to Microsoft Connect.
As I know CodeRush does not change anything in the Project Dependencies dialog. However you can write to DevExpress Support Center (http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center) for a more detailed answer and research.
I also recommend you include a project and a video that illustrates the problem (if possible).
I was facing same issue. However got fixed after deleting .suo file from solution folder
At the moment I can not add anything new to my visual studio project because when I try I get this random jumble. I tried reinstalling Visual Studio to no avail and even a system reset didn't fix it. I was wondering if anyone has any possible solutions to this problem...
That looks like a GPU-acceleration GUI glitch. You can disable acceleration by going to TOOLS/Options - unclick "automatically adjust visual experience based on client performance" and disable both sub-options.
Or you can try updating your graphics driver for your system as Roger Rowland suggested in the comment to your question.
I'm pleased to see that VS2012's Designer is much closer to Blend than the old one. One thing I still didn't find is Blend's "resource view":
VS2012 has something it calls resource view, but that is something different.
Without this, one can't reach templates other than by clicking through controls that use them.
OK. I did some research and found this preview. This is a stopgap until Update 2 released back in August. I haven't tried it yet. I'll edit my answer when I do. It seems that Update 2 of Visual Studio 2012 will include Blend support for Silverlight and WPF.
Here is more information on the preview Update 2. This is what I get for switching to a Microsoft product too early. Hope this helps.
If anyone has any more information on this. Please let us know.
Edits:
The preview is basically a preview of Blend that will eventually expire.
The biggest thing I'm not clear on is whether this statement (from this KB article):
"Blend for Visual Studio 2012 Support for Sketchflow, WPF, and Silverlight"
... means that Support for WPF and Silverlight will exist in Visual Studio itself or in another product.
