IDE problems

[snarfblam]

My IDE has been exhibiting strange behavior lately. First I noticed that the text editor wasn't keeping my tabs correctly; when I moved the cursor off a line (this is in VB) where I changed the tabbing of comments or lines of code that used a line continuation the editor would change or revert the tabbing and sometimes even change the tabbing of other lines.

 

Also, the form designer has not been working correctly; when I change the name of a control it would sometimes change the declaration but not any assignments in the generated code. Look: (I changed ComboBox1 to cboType and ComboBox2 to cbtType2. The declaration changed, but the assignments didn't)...

 

    Friend WithEvents cboType As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
   Friend WithEvents cboType2 As System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox

   <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
       Dim resources As System.Resources.ResourceManager = New System.Resources.ResourceManager(GetType(Form1))
       Me.ComboBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
       Me.ComboBox2 = New System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
'And so on

 

...and when this happens, I lose the outlining in the text error, get designer errors and, of course, compiler errors.

 

I checked all of my text editor and tabbing options and they are all as should be (not that any setting should cause this behavior).

 

So my question would simply be: What on earth is wrong with my IDE?

 

edit: Also, My IDE has always done this: Frequently, when I use the "Edit Names" feature, change the names, and disable "Edit Names" the names are not changed in the code and next time I enable "Edit Names" all the names I changed have reverted.
