Visual Studio has a habit of opening the wrong file in my solution – only a small proportion of the time, but several times a day and often enough to be annoying. It can happen when doing any of the following:

  • Opening a file from solution explorer
  • Using F7 to switch between aspx and code behind
  • Right clicking a method and selecting “go to declaration”

Has anyone else experienced this and have any ideas as to what could cause / fix this?

Update: I’ve finally got round to installing SP1 and it still occurs so I’m back to looking for a solution.

In case it’s relevant, I’ve got both Resharper 5.1 and Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools installed.

Update 2: It looks like Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools was part of the problem, I’ve uninstalled it and have not had issues since.
