VS 2022 crashes when scrolling after idle time

SvB

I have some strange issue since a few months and was hoping that the newest PHPTools version could fix it.
When I have the IDE in the background and try to resume my work the entire editor crashes once I scroll in the currently opened file.

Once I disable PHPTools this issue is gone.

What files should I provide so that you can have a look on that matter?

Thank you for your support!

SvB Thank you for reporting the issue.

Do you have any more details about the crash? A crash log, memory dump, ... ?

SvB

JakubMisek Could you please tell me what logs you would like to receive?
I just had the error again and in my Windows event log I found the error in that dll: "WmiApRpl.dll"
This dll is in the newest version on my machine so I don't think that this might be the case...

Would you like to have the extract of the event log or where do I find the relevant information for your?

SvB Visual Studio logs can be collected using the following steps:

If it's a hard crash though, it won't be there.

SvB We've found the bug! Working on it and preparing an update.

Sounds great. Yesterday I didn't had any crash but today (without scrolling). Perhaps you can have a look into the ActivityLog?

And here a ActivityLog.xml with the actual error (crash after scolling)

SvB Thank you for the log files!

We have prepared version 1.78.19178 on https://www.devsense.com/en/download which fixes the crash.

There are a few more (not critical) errors that will be addressed in the next update.

Hello @JakubMisek

activitylog-error.xml

264kB

sadly the error still exists and causes frequently crashes on my machine (see attached log).
Could you please have a second look onto this issue?

JakubMisek

SvB Thank you for the log; it seems no errors were logged (it means it was a hard crash, stack overflow, or similar).

I'm afraid I would need some code samples to debug the issue :/

SvB

JakubMisek Sorry for the late reply, we tried to find the error on our end...

Unfortunately with no luck. The error occurs on three different machines with total different projects and code... The most basic code of our trainee can cause this error.

Is there anything else I could provide for you to find the error?

JakubMisek

SvB A screenshot, or a video would help. Is it possible to share it with me on email?

SvB

JakubMisek I could, but to be honest there is not much to see. After a while (sometimes fast sometimes after few hours) the editor does not respond anymore (but it is always triggered by a scroll on a larger file). Then after a few seconds the background is fading and a few seconds later it is a crash to desktop...

And I do often get the message that Visual Studio detected PHPTools to slow down my input

SvB There was a bug in inferring array types, fixed in the latest pre-release (1.79.19519). It may solve your issue as well.

The version 1.79.19542 fixes some related issues.
