Has anyone else got a problem with the *Open recent* list in the latest VS2022? Type some search text and it just stalls busy with empty results. [image: image.png] I've also noticed that the *Replace in Files* feature over external folders has the same bug I reported several weeks ago. It will tell you "x occurrences(s) replaced" but no files are touched. I reported this back then, but a support person noticed a duplicate posted after me, so I got marked as a duplicate (but I was first!!). I would have thought that this was a really serious issue, but it seems to have gone quiet. Doesn't anyone else use VS for global changes? It's a powerful feature. *Greg*

Heh, yeah VS2022 search text boxes appear to be a bit wonky occasionally. Tim Corey called it out in a MAUI first look video a few months back when something similar happened in the 17.3 preview bits. I guess it's not fixed yet... https://youtu.be/HmyfjAaPW0g?t=109 Speaking of annoyances with the latest VS2022 - the new git line staging thing is so aggressive with the mouse popup up at the end of a line now, making edits to a diff painful: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/git-line-staging-released/ On 29/08/2022 12:20, Greg Keogh via ozdotnet wrote:

Tony, can you Report a Problem on the git line staging - they are monitoring feedback on it.

Done! Ta, probably should have done that first instead of complaining here. I suspect I may not be registering the feedback button often because the UserVoice scars haven't faded yet... 😁 - Tony On 30/08/2022 11:03, David Kean wrote:

Can you help -> send feedback -> report a problem, choose the record option for the search. Can you point me to the Find in Files bug and I’ll check what’s going on with it? I do know of a known bug for renamed files (due to Git branch switch or a real rename) that has been fixed but not yet released.

Phew! I finally found it, after intensive searching. I hope the Guid identifies the report from early June titled *Find and Replace in Files not updating files*. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/report?port=1025&fsid=f1083032-7... I thought I was crazy, but someone in the group confirmed the symptoms. I don't know why this isn't an urgent issue, unless I really am crazy and I'm the only person in the world who uses the VS Replace in Files feature for general purpose (project external) bulk file changes. That feature simply stopped working a few months ago. The last update was on July 08 <https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Replace-in-Files-CtrlShiftH-no...> which says "Under Investigation". There have been a lot of updates since then, but sadly none of them included a fix. *Greg*

This has been fixed and the fix should be avalable in 17.4 Preview 1. If you run into something in the future, get folks to +1, it increases the priority and lets us query over all these users find patterns in the issues they run into.
