The option "Track active items in solution explorer" in visual studio doesn't seem to work. I am using visual studio 2013 ultimate and Resharper 8.1. I've tried un-checking and checking again, didn't work. Thank you for your time.

  • Can you give more details about what's not working? What did you try, what did you expect, what did you get? – Jimmy Jan 20 '14 at 17:35
  • If "Track active items in solution explorer" option is turned on (Tools->options->Projects and solutions-> Track active items in solution explorer) every active document in the editor will be shown and selected in the solution explorer (unless it's in an unopened folder in the solution explorer). A restart solved the problem for now, however it's a recurring issue so it's still relevant. – MosheG Jan 22 '14 at 08:27

In Visual Studio, click on Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions, then make sure the option Track Active Item in Solution Explorer is unchecked.

In Visual Studio again, click on Extensions -> Resharper -> Options -> Performance Guide and set the option Don't track active item in Solution Explorer to Ignore
