    debugging environment

    For some reason some of my vs2008 projects have started spewing a ton of tool boxes and watch windows everywhere whenever I activate debugging whereas everything used to be neatly tucked into corners and tabbed before. How do I restore the default debugging environment?

    Try 'Window\Reset Window Layout' menu item.

    If I stop and restart vs2008 it goes away temporarily but if I use the start debugging and the stop debugging option enough times it will revert to vomiting all the windows all over my screen again without warning. It also screws up my layout and slows down my comp even after I stop debugging. I attached a pic of what happens

    It's not clear whether you tried what I suggested.

    It won't work if its already happened. Restarting vs2008 will sometimes temporarily fix it regardless of whether I reset the layout. I haven't been able to pin down what causes it. Sometimes I can start and stop debugging 10x with nothing bad happening and sometimes it will vomit windows everywhere whenever I try to do the exact same thing.

    Is there any button I might be hovering over that might be causing this I make sure only to use 'start debugging' but this is happening over and over and its pissing me off. I have an expired codekana extension but I don't think thats causing it.

    It probably is a plug-in or extension that is causing it. Try to disable all the plug-in/extensions.
