Here are a few bugs that I've found so far with Visual Studio 2008:
- If you have a lot of files open and you quickly hit Ctrl+F4 in succession then there's a good chance that you will crash VS2008. This sometimes happens when you click on the menus Window -> Close All Documents.
- Sometimes I'm in a unit test and I quickly want to debug/run it so I hit Ctrl+R, Ctrl+T but it doesn't run. I then check the menu items at Test -> Debug -> Tests in Current Context and see that this item on the menu is disabled. I then have to fiddle about with the project jumping from file to file and keep on checking back and then it magically becomes enabled. I haven't worked out what the magic combination of moving around the project is that enables this yet...
- When I set the browser to Firefox and debug a web app through Cassini then VS2008 doesn't terminate debugging when I exit Firefox. My options are then Shift+F5 to manually stop it or to right click on the Cassini icon in the Tray and select Stop.
21 July 2007: I think I've solved the second problem - where I can't debug a unit test sometimes. I think that this happens when the project's solution is read-only because it hasn't been checked out of source control.
Installed SP1 for VS2008 yesterday so will keep an eye on these bugs to see if any of them "go away."
