Why are my arrow keys getting stuck? CodeRush/VS2010

3.8k Views Asked by At

I have VS2010 and CodeRush Express installed on my machine. Occasionally I am hitting some key combination (inadvertently, don't know what I am hitting) that is causing my up/down arrow keys to get "stuck", they stop moving the cursor up and down. Restarting the dev env fixes the problem.

Just had the same problem. I managed to put editor back in "normal" mode by Ctrl+Tab-ing to different tab and back.

Hope this helps someone.

I think in all honesty that this is perhaps not the best place to do a proper bug investigation.

Perhaps consider opening a bug report in the DevExpress Support Center (http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/).

I'm not suggesting that this be swept under a carpet either. You can provide a link to the Issue from this question and anyone needing similar information could then follow said link

It just seems to me that DevExpress' official support are better equipped to handle this.

The culprit for me was "Clownfish" for Skype.

Ctrl-Shift hot keys are enabled by default.

This seems to be a known issue with VS2010. Some testers reported it back in the September 2010. It does not appear to be linked to CodeRush, but is in fact a Visual Studio bug.

However, Microsoft seem to have closed the bug as they couldn't replicate it in the lab. One work around seems to be to press ALT + Enter. Another suggests pressing Enter on the keypad.

Close your visual studio window and reopen your project again. Key will start working normally.
