The Task List in Visual Studio 2008 is behaving a little wacky for me.

The Task List in Visual Studio 2008 is behaving a little wacky for me. Some tasks are only shown once, but some are shown several times.

For example, // TODO: Change this to 9000.0 when... appears only once in my code (AcceptanceTests.cpp line 74), but it is showing up four times in the task list.

It seems that when the file is edited, an instance of the TODO with the correct line number is created but the old outdated instance is not removed.

Is there a way to refresh the task list?

I’ve tried rebuilding the solution, but it didn’t help. And I’m not surprised because this has nothing to do with the compiler.

    Closing and re-opening Visual Studio worked! No more duplicates (for now).
