We also had the problem and got quite frustrated by it. After MANY hours of
trying, we are glad to let you know that we finally found the problem and
have been able to fix it! I believe no one else has been able to fix it
because I couldn't find anything on Usenet, so that's why I am posting this.
How to reproduce the problem (your VS.NET IDE is in "screwed up mode")
1. Open any form
2. Go in the code editor and add a new Sub by typing:
--
Public Sub Test [ENTER]
--
End Sub should be automatically added.
3. Now, go in the form designer and resize the form. This causes the
auto-generated code to be regenerated.
4. Go back in the editor and perform step 2 again. By now, you should have
lost Intellisense, Undo and code completion. Notice that "End Sub" was not
automatically added.
The FIX
1. In Solution Explorer, click on Show All Files.
2. Open 'licenses.licx' by double-clicking on it.
3. Remove ALL blank lines, including the blank lines at the end.
4. Close VS.NET, re-open VS.NET and your solution.
5. Voila!
This worked perfectly for us. I hope it will also work for you!

Worked for us two. Who would have thought two blank lines at the end
of a text file could break the entire development environment?
