I'm experiencing a visual glitch in SSMS. Whenever I hide the results pane, the editor is covered in dark, as is the application was not repainted correctly. It would look like a graphic card/driver issue but it's only happening with ssms (all the time) and sometimes with visual studio. It happens even immediately after rebooting, with no other programs running, so it's not a low RAM issue.
Already tried updating ssms, and then a complete uninstall.
Also tried upgrading visual studio from 2015 to 2017.
The glitch also appears if I move downwards the horizontal bar that separates the editor from the results pane.
The glitch disappears if I move upwards the horizontal bar that separates the editor from the Results pane, or if I restore/maximize the ssms window, or if I move the vertical bar that separates the editor from the Object Explorer.
Haven't found anyone with this problem, googling around. Any idea on how to solve this? It's driving me nuts.
I'm including a screenshot of the glitch:

is it possible to scroll down in Visual Studio 2022 just as if I was using scroll wheel? Say for example using some shortcut. I want to keep the cursor at the same line I am at, but move the code a little higher on the screen, without getting my hands off keyboard.
As was mentioned in the comments, the default keybinding for this are Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down. Keyboard shortcuts can also be reconfigured in the Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard settings.
The commands to configure are Edit.ScrollLineUp and Edit.ScrollLineDown. There are several other scroll related commands, but I'm not sure what all of them do (they may not be applicable in the text editor).
I have just upgraded to SSMS 2018 and have noticed that the results text seems much smaller and is hard to read from further away.
I have tried changing the font size however it only changed the font size of the query pane.
Maybe I am missing something here?
From the SSMS Tools menu, choose Options.
Then in the search box type 'FON', choose 'Font and Colors' and from the drop down list labeled 'Show settings for : ' choose 'Grid Results'.
Enlarge the font size. Restart SSMS and your view will be much better.
Another method is to click anywhere on the query or results window. Then hold down the "CTRL" and scroll your mouse button up or down. This changes the size of the text.
I'm using Visual Studio 2017 and have followed the instructions in this answer to change the behaviour of Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to switch to next and previous tab, respectively.
Problem is, while Ctrl+Tab works fine, Ctrl+Shift+Tab only switches to the previous tab when the current document is not a Web Form or similar (e.g. master page). On those pages, the combo switches between Source, Design and Split view instead. How can I disable this behaviour?
I've looked through the keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio settings and haven't found any others that are mapped to that combination. I've even disabled Web Forms designer (so only Source view is available), but it doesn't help, Ctrl+Shift+Tab simply doesn't do anything then.
Set the shortcut keys for the Window.PreviousTabAndAddToSelection command in the HTML Editor Source View (instead of Global) to Ctrl+Shift+Tab. This has the minor side effect of selecting the previous tab when navigating away from a web form tab, but successfully avoids the unexpected behavior of taking you to the split or design sub tabs.
Most of the time when I code, either using Visual Studio or gVim, I like to have many open windows with code files so that I can go back and forth from one to another, either to edit or just read while editing another file.
Thus I found VS 2010's feature of "floating" code windows very helpful. However, the fact that when a code window is floating, it's "always on top" is a bit annoying, because it might hide other windows, such as the "Find Results" for example.
Is this something that is customizable? Is there a configuration value somewhere that either enables or disables the "always on top feature" of floating code windows in Visual Studio 2010?
Thanks
Well, it is not a real top-most window, it is merely on top of the Visual Studio main window. An 'owned' window. From where it competes with other windows that VS displays for the Z-order, like the Find Results window. You'd need to arrange these windows so they don't easily overlap and obscure each other. That's supported, you can dock them. Bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, isn't it?
If you have concrete ideas how to improve this then you can post them to connect.microsoft.com
I've got this weird behavior in Visual Studio 2005 when working with SSIS packages. Visual Studio appears to be having problems painting/repainting the tasks.
When I open a package, I see the label of the task items and the line connecting tasks, but I don't see the box outline or the icon of the task type. When I click on the task item, the outline and icon appear. If I minimize the screen and then maximize it, they disappear again.
The problems exists if I bounce my machine and load Visual Studio by itself. I don't have the problem with any other projects.
I've seen it couple times, and in both cases the problem disappeared after I installed the latest video drivers.
