I somehow managed to break Visual Studio so that it can't render text in source code.

Everything else seems to work fine, but if you click on a .cpp file, it just shows you a blank window.

@foone known issue on the recent version. Super annoying. You have to reboot (and update vs)

@foone hey wait, I think this happened to me once. It had something to do with it being unable to find the Cascadia font. Forcing it to default to a different font was a workaround, if you're still trying to fix it.

@foone this happens to me all the time. Have to reboot, sometimes several times

@foone Sometimes setting scaling to 100% jogs something loose so it starts rendering again -- but that assumes it wasn't 100% already

@foone Possibly a dumb question, but how do you know it's a rendering issue?

@foone@digipres.club avatar

@keithmann I can confirm with external editors that there is text in those files

I updated VS2022 to see if that'd fix it, but now it won't run unless I reboot first.

What is this, windows 95?!

I guess this project isn't getting done today. or possibly ever, given my history with projects like this thanks to the ADHD

@susul I'm SHOCKED that you'd think I'd be trying to extract some raccoon's sprites from a newly released game.

@foone I’m happily not subjected to all the Windows improvements anymore (‘Pray we do not improve them further’)
but all the recent news makes me vaguely nostalgic for Windows 2000 Professional, with which I was very happy through 2012 at least

@foone possibly the reboot would have fixed it all on its own. I thought it was fixed but for a LONG time VS exposed a Windows font rendering bug that acted like this 😕
