Brace matching and references highlight suddenly stop working (VS2013)
Visual Studio 2013 brace matching, references highlight, auto detect variable/,methods name changes (need to use Refactor instead), etc... are stopping to work and only work again after a VS restart. I'm writing code in C#.
Am I the only suffering/affected with this problem?
Very very annoying VS2013 problem!! It seams to only happen in large projects.
Update 1: I've realized that it happens just after I open any WinForm in VS Designer. When I come back to code editing, the brace matching and stuff is gone and I need to restart VS!
Update 2: Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 and still... NO fix!! Hello Microsoft?
Update 3: Since my solution has few votes, I'm going to summarize it here. In my case, the problem was a Thread.Sleep been called by VS Designer. It was a code error, but anyway, Designer should not run Thread.Sleep commands freezing the entire VS.
Answer
Until fix arrives, try disabling code lens.
tools->options->text editor -> all languages ->code lens
Or just kill the ALM shared Remoting task. if it is very high CPU.
