Is there a way to enable overscrolling in MonoDevelop?
With overscrolling I mean a feature to scroll the last line of the text up to the top of the editor instead only to the bottom.
If I'm working on the last few lines of a file I often fill in a couple of empty lines to get my focus in the middle of the window. I know this feature from Visual Studio and wonder if there is something similar in MonoDevelop.
Edit: I currently use MonoDevelop 4.
This was fixed few months ago: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17863 and is avaiable in Xamarin Studio/MonoDevelop 5.0

I'm trying to access the project properties but the window appears blank. I've tried web solutions View>Properties Window, f4, right click on project folder>properties, Also tried resetting import/export settings, searching for specific tab
everything results in a blank window.. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
I ran into this same problem with VS 2022 v17.4.0 Preview 1.0 in a C# Windows forms app. Closing and opening the solution/VS didn't have any effect.
After I closed all the open tabs and reopened a file, the Properties pane was populating correctly.
Does your toolbox items also appear 'greyed out'?
Try Going to your Build Menu and select
Clean Solution
(and perhaps Rebuild afterward - or not)
This happens constantly on my install. I simply minimize the entire VS window, then restore it. Poof! My properties appear. Trivial, but painful.
1 Make sure that your build program is not running (use task manager to end that process if needed) and make sure that you can rebuild your project without errors.
2 Restart Visual Studio as an Administrator.
Good Luck For You All ^_^
I have just encountered this error and it was simply solved by closing the visual studio and reopening it again. it is just gone.
Gurus...
When building my app in VB 2010, I have always been accustomed to the debug output window that, if any errors were present, the errors and warnings would be in color (yellow, red, etc) and I could actually click on the error in the output window and it would take me to that part of my code that had the problem.
Then, for some unknown reason, that output window just vanished and doesn't show up anymore.
I have searched the forums, but all I see is people telling other people to just go to Tools/Options/Debugging/General and enable to output window. The problem is that this is NOT the same output Window that vanished on me. This only enables a basic no-frills text window with no intuitive links or color coding like the original. Going into Projects and Solutions/Build and Run and setting output options in there only change the amount and complexity of plain text in the same output window, so again, the problem remains.
Anybody in here know how to restore the original build debug window that VS 2010 (VB) uses as default upon installation? I have a feeling the solution is embarrassingly simple, but I still haven't come across it yet. I still don't even know how it disappeared on me in the first place, and I really miss it.
Is there only Horizontal Split as default and not Vertical Split? Again or my eyes are going bad? It was an issue in VS2008 and VS2010 when it was per-file basis so nothing has changed?
Yep there is currently no way of defaulting to a vertical split for the XAML designer in VS2012.
Like you mentioned the only way at this point is doing it per-file basis as these settings are saved together in your .suo file.
This applies to VS08 and VS10 or VS12...
If you do want to let microsoft know that you would like this to be a feature you can send them a request here
Here is the original thread about this issue.
Its funny though that their HTML designer does allow defaulting to vertical split..
Recently I was using Aptana to view multiple files side by side. The unfortunate thing is that now I can not remove the editor (side by side) windows that are marked by red arrows. Also, you can obviously see that I have been trying to drag them away which is making the problem worse. I have tried to Google around but have found no solution. I can uninstall and reinstall Aptana, but if there is a fix I would rather know it and not have to go through a reinstallation process each time an issue like this arises.
Also I would like to add that I may be having trouble Googling the solution since I am not 100% sure on the name of the "editor tabs". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My reputation is too low so here is a image link of my issue:

The answer is extremely simple. If you ever run into the issue as shown in the picture above, simply open new files and drag them into the empty spaces that the extra "editor windows" are located. From there just close (x) out the window and it will remove the extra windows.
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?
