Loading the GitExtensions.sln resets the Exception settings #6606

Open mstv opened 5 years ago

mstv commented 5 years ago

Current behaviour

Every time I load the GitExtensions.sln, the Exception Settings of the Visual Studio Community Edition are reset to defaults (which do not make much sense to me).

Expected behaviour

Unless this is an intentional limitation by MS, all exceptions but this threading and ConEmu XML stuff should be enabled.

Steps to reproduce

open GitExtensions.sln
select all exceptions
close MSVS
reopen GitExtensions.sln

Screenshots

Did this work in previous version of GitExtensions

unknown

Environment

MSVS Community Edition 2017 and 2019

Could you please provide more info, I don't quite understand the nature of the issue.

Related to this, maybe? https://dailydotnettips.com/exception-settings-window/

Yes, Trond, this is the feature, although I don't even use these conditions. I simply tell the debugger to stop on all exceptions except some uncritical. This selection is not persisted over the restart of MSVS or it is reset to defaults (which are not very helpful).

switch on every exception before running GE:
debug GE
switch off usual exceptions when they are thrown, BindingFailure, AsynchronousThreadAbort, ThreadAbortException, DirectoryNotFoundException, BadImageFormatException, OperationCanceledException:
exit GE:
close and reopen the GitExtensions.sln:

Interesting. That is a lot more details than I expected, but I suppose it is useful in this context.
