Major bug in VS 2005 style builder form

[Guest]

There are a couple posts about this here, but no answers. The problem is
when you attempt to use the style builder for a page element in VS 2k5, the
form appears and then immediately disappears. If you try again ten or so
times, the whole IDE freezes up. Do any of the MVPs have any info on this?
TIA.

You've verified this behavior on two separate computers?

It's not something I've come across, it works fine here.

Are you accessing this screen via the Format Menu/Style?

Do you have any addins installed?

From within the properties grid.

Google it. Others are having the same problem.

This might be stretching a bit (but has happened to me)

When you click the button on the properies grid and the
style page comes up, is the cancel button under the mouse?

What can I say? It stopped happening, and now the style form is working
properly. I'm neck deep in a project, so I wasn't paying much attention to
the circumstances surrounding the issue. All I knew is that the style
builder, when accessed through the properties window, would appear and then
immediately disappear. Repeating this a number of times caused the IDE to
freeze. This is on a fresh install of Team Edition, with only GhostDoc
installed. Around the same time it started working again I uninstalled IE7,
tho I don't believe there is any connection. If it happens again, I'll try
to note the circumstances and post them to this thread.
