    Focus is stolen from the editor by the autocomplete suggestion-dropdown.

    This happens every few characters. This bug is making VisualGDB unusable.

    For example: In a new project I try to type int x = 10; the suggestion-dropdown appears after the first keypress and suggests a number of items beginning with i. None of them are int so I  keep typing. As soon as I type the first space, the dropdown disappears but my keypresses no longer place text into the editor. The only way to continue typing is to place focus into Visual Studio with ALT-TAB or by clicking the window.

    I’m using version 5.3R8

    The bug began occuring after I was prompted by VisualGdb to upgrade toolchains for a certain project. The bug now occurs in every project.

    Hi,

    Version 5.3 is very old, so it indeed may not work as expected with the latest VS updates. Please try updating to VisualGDB 5.5 Preview 3 (you would need to renew you key here first).
