Navigation bar in editor has trouble handling long method names
Add Comment
The thing expands for longer method signatures... right off the edge of the screen. I cant read the names of the methods. They aren't that long, either. Something with a sig like ExecuteAggregationCandidacyEvaluation(string aggregationItemID, List candidateStructureItems, Dictionary aggregationRuleSetToUse) makes everything else non-readable.
Hi Andrew, According to your description, you can expand editor window by drag to see all parameters of method if you type multiple parameters in method, Is this a useful solution? we look forward to hearing from you.
I've tried twice now to attach a screenshot and this f@!@# feedback tool just closes the window when I click Finish. Find something with a long signature - a constructor or method with many parameters. Then click the method DDL glyph and scroll. the names of the other methods will be lost off the left side of the screen.
Hi Andrew, There is a function could resolve the issue "the names of the other methods will be lost off the left side of the screen", Click Edit--> Advanced --> Word Wrap, Is this a useful function for you? We look forward to hearing from you!
@Rock Li - Put a book in front of you as if you were reading it. Now without moving your head, slide the book a few inches to the left. Unless you have excellent peripheral vision you should no longer be able to read the beginnings of any line. This is what the Method drop down list in the code editor is doing.l
Hi Andrew, Thank you for your patient explanation. I have understood your issue, Could you please provide your settings to me? Tools-->import and Export settings.
Hemchander Sannidhanam [MSFT] - I hope your comment is just a poorly delivered joke.
I cant see the methods in the drop down list.
Its not just me that cant either.
Its not a word wrap problem, the UI in VS has a new defect from something that was done, and its something you need to fix. This wasnt a problem in earlier versions of VS 2017 and definitely not in 2015.
I also have this issue. It affects 100% of users of visual studio 2017. All it takes is one long constructor signature (like if you're doing dependency injection) or method signature to screw it up. It's just one of those annoying issues that I'm sure others like myself had just learned to work around. I've ignored it for months until now. My now closed duplicate issue has appropriate reproduction steps. It actually does work as long as you don't click into a block of code with a small signature (impossible to not do). Once you've done that, it cuts off the method signatures until you close and reopen the source file.
I hope your closed dupe didnt get pointed at this one as the one to follow, as its closed too
I have re-active this feedback. If anyone meet the same problem, please feel free to vote.
Thank you for reporting this issue to us. We have changed the title to better describe the problem so others can find and engage with it
Problem:
When a method of the class contains many parameters with long type names and names which are summed up longer than the Visual Studio Window width then it is sometimes scrolled to the right so I see the last parameter name but not the method name anymore and cannot scroll back to the left. It happens when in the class file the cursor is inside method with the long parameter list.
Expected behavior: The class members drop down box content is always scrolled to the left.
Windows 7 Visual Studio 15.8
Same problem here. It's a very useful feature and it seems like you've recently broken it. Please, rethink your 'low priority' evaluation. If I populated a listbox and it did that I'd fix it as a matter of course without even thinking about it. Seems like UI implementation 101 to me - 'stuff I intend to put on the screen should be visible to the user'.
