Special characters in xaml may kill Intellisense

Question

Special characters makes me intellisenseless.

To reproduce the problem: create new wpf project and change

Title="MainWindow"

to

Title="{Binding Test, FallbackValue=R&R}"

Hit F5 or F6 - everything looks fine.

But Intellisense is now dead for this xaml. Why? What should I do?

Answer 1

I cannot duplicate this problem, but I'm using VS2013 with latest updates.

Your options are to check that you have the latest upgrades, then file a bug report as Ron Beyer mentioned.

Otherwise you can also try cleaning and rebuilding the project, or toggling intellisense off, then on again.
