When writing c# code in a view, the intellisense pops up and disappears after a second. For example I am trying to use the Html.DropDownFor function, the intellisense shows up when I start typing the 'Html' part, but quickly disappears before I can even select anything.

Is there anything I can do about it?
Edit: I noticed the intellisense is working when first starting visual studio, but then it starts flickering after I alt+tab into another program and return to visual studio in any way. The issue sticks permanently after.

Edit: This seems to have been fixed in Visual Studio 2017.

  • Are you using any extensions that mess with intellisense (ReSharper, DevExpress, etc)? You can try starting visual studio in safe mode (devenv.exe /safemode) to disable all extensions. If the problem happens with that switch then you know for sure that it isn't an extension causing the problem. – Bradley Uffner Sep 02 '16 at 13:29
  • Safe mode did not fix the issue (also no addons installed), but I did notice that it works fine until i alt+tab into another program and then return. Adding it to OP. – master2080 Sep 02 '16 at 13:55
  • Is it only Alt-Tab that messes it up, not just switching applications "normally" using the taskbar? – Bradley Uffner Sep 02 '16 at 13:59
  • Strangely, yes, only alt+tab. I tried presing those keys in visual studio one by one(and in different combinations) to see if something would get 'unstuck', but nothing helps. – master2080 Sep 02 '16 at 15:28
  • Is it possible you accidentally turned on "sticky keys" or some other access ability feature in Windows? – Bradley Uffner Sep 02 '16 at 15:30
  • I was using MouseKeys. I turned it off and there was no change. Thanks for trying to help, though ! It isn't a critical bug, but it makes intellisense completely useless since you can't rely on it. – master2080 Sep 02 '16 at 17:29
  • Well, I'm out of ideas. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. – Bradley Uffner Sep 02 '16 at 17:30
