Hi all,
I recently installed the xamarin visual studio plugin and have run into a problem where certain file operations causes the visual studio ui to freeze. This most frequently happens when importing and overwriting files by dragging them into the solution explorer or when deleting a folder that has one or more child elements.
When this happens the UI will simply lock and any clicks will popup the usual "Visual studio is busy" bubble. Checking task manager shows that the application is still running but has 0% CPU usage. The project is hosted on a local hard drive but is substd to drive p: to work around some issues with file lengths. The UI never returns control and needs to be stopped in task manager.
When visual studio is re-opened the file has been copied into the place selected however it has not been added to the solution. Attempting to add the copied file to the solution will usually lock the UI again. The only workaround is to add it via xamarin studio and then re-open in visual studio.
This is really slowing productivity. Has anyone seen this before or have a workaround?
