CoDist crashed, locked up Visual Studio, and I lost unsaved changes

I remember CoDist suddenly announcing a new version had been installed, so I also need to figure out how to disable that, so as to avoid problems like this. I'm apparently using CoDist 8.2.1.11263.

I think I clicked to the left of the text in a C++ file. The dialog read:

System.ArgumentException: The specified ITextSnapshot doesn't belong to the correct TextBuffer.
  at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Implementation.TrackingSpan.GetSpan(ITextSnapshot snapshot)
  at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Implementation.TrackingSpan.GetStartPoint(ITextSnapshot snapshot)
  at CoDist.Margins.CommentMargin.DrawMarkers(DrawingContext drawingContext) in [...]\Margins\CommentMargin.cs: line 193
  at CoDist.Margins.CommentMargin.OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext) in [...]\Margins\CommentMargin.cs: line 170

Visual Studio then locked up completely, and I finally had to kill it in Task Manager.

Sorry to see this.

According to the stack trace, you can disable the comment tagger from the Codist Options dialog by unchecking the "Enable comment tagger" checkbox.

I will take a look at the problem and fix it.

I've just uploaded a new release to the marketplace. Please upgrade Codist from VS and see whether this issue persists without disabling the comment tagger.

I'll be glad to try. Any idea what I did to reproduce that crash? I have no idea what I clicked on, other than it was to the left of the text.

The stack trace implied that the cached text snapshot within the Comment Tagger mismatch with the editing one, which might be caused by typing or deleting in the code editor fast. Hopefully the new version can fix this.

Has the crash reoccurred after upgrading to the new version?

I will close this issue for I believe that it is fixed.
If it persists, please ask for reopening it.
