Missing cursor in Visual Studio after performing a search or using the clipboard manager. Works in safe mode

I have weird behavior with the Visual Studio 2010 editor. Whenever I search (ctrl-F) or paste using a clipboard manager such as ClipX or Ditto, the cursor is missing. I need to click inside the editor to get the cursor.

When I do these actions with Visual Studio working in safe mode, they work fine. So I thought that it could be an extension or an addition that causes this. I disabled all add-ons and extensions and started VS with the settings / resetsettings and / setup, but I still have a problem.

Any ideas on what could happen?

UPDATE:

Switch to VS2012, which does not have this problem. VS2012 has the same extensions

Your problem can be solved in different ways (depending on the cause). Try the following:

  • (a problem with Windows settings) go to Control Panel, Ease of Accessibility, make the computer more convenient for viewing, and in the "Make things on screen easier to see, so that the thickness of the blinking cursor is set to 1
  • (a problem with Visual Studio) reset all settings in VS using Tools-> Import and Export Settings → Reset All Settings. Restart VS and check. If the problem is still relevant, run devenv / safemode on the VS2010 command line to avoid loading the extension and checking for bahavior. This should help.

BTW This problem occurred quite often during the RC period of VS.

UPD Try removing C: \ Users \% UserName% \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 10.0 \ Extensions this.
