We recently blogged<\/a> about a crashing bug in the Visual Studio 2010 Release Candidate (RC)<\/a> on machines using UI Automation (UIA)<\/a>.\u00a0 We\u2019ve since discovered that there are actually two bugs, both of which will only affect a certain group of users but will cause the IDE to be very unstable for those users.\u00a0 Both of these issues now have patches available for the RC and have already been fixed for VS 2010 RTM.<\/p>\n

Who is affected?<\/h3>\n

Both bugs affect the same group of users.\u00a0 Only machines with the Visual Studio 2010 RC and an application or device actively using UI Automation 3.0 APIs are affected.\u00a0 This includes but may not be limited to RC users who are using touch displays, tablet PCs, screen reader software, and some 3rd-party applications.<\/p>\n

What are the symptoms?<\/h3>\n

Both bugs cause Visual Studio to be quite unstable.\u00a0 Bug #1 causes frequent crashing during rapid typing in the editor while IntelliSense is popping up and\/or being dismissed.\u00a0 Bug #2 causes somewhat less frequent crashing during tooltip invocation, most commonly when hovering over an identifier to view a QuickInfo tooltip.<\/p>\n

How can I fix these crashes?<\/h3>\n

There are two<\/a> separate patches<\/a> available for these issues in the VS 2010 RC, and we\u2019d encourage RC users to download and install them both.\u00a0 We also have fixes for both bugs checked in for VS 2010 RTM.\u00a0 You won\u2019t need a patch or workaround for the final release, and you\u2019ll be able to use the RTM build on machines with UIA without experiencing these crashes.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about this issue, please feel free to post in the comments below.\u00a0 If you\u2019re experiencing crashes without UIA or in scenarios without IntelliSense, the root cause is likely different, so we\u2019d encourage you to collect a crash dump<\/a> if possible and file a Connect bug<\/a> so we can investigate.<\/p>\n
