**** After following the Q&A, my freezing issues did seem to be associated with the custom document well, and so switched this off, which at the moment seems to be the only glitch. Hoping they will fix this soon, which will raise it to 5 star rating for me.
* This was a great set of extensions that really improved and enhanced development in VS 2010. But the 2012 version is so buggy. It constantly renders the 2012 ide unusable... it constantly freezes and requires restarting VS 2012 so much that you end up disabling it.
Thanks for the great tool, I don't need any other productivity extensions.
I'd like to suggest to split the "Remove and Sort Usings on save" feature. It's very useful that it removes redundant Usings, but I'd also like to maintain my carefully shaped assembly list order.
Rating: ***** Endlich wieder in Farbe drucken. 8-)
Rating: ** Leider wird das Syntax-Highlighting in VS2012 Ultimate (mehrere Installationen auf verschiedenen OS [Win7-Entp. ,Win8-Entp.]) reproduzierbar verändert. Die integrierten-Typen wie Int32, Int64, Double, Boolean usw. werden im Code-Editor schwarz dargestellt.
Workaround: Tools > Optionen > "Productivity Power Tools" > "Colorized Parameter Help" auf Off behebt den Fehler.
great to have this (mostly for Ctrl-Click to definition) but missing interactive tooltips :(. The thing I used them for the most was probably "Implemented By" for interfaces - is there some built-in VS2012 feature I'm "supposed to be" using for this?
Potentially a great extension, but I am getting an error when editing JavaScript files - I cannot save them and have to restart Visual Studio to correct the problem - losing my changes in the process.
The issue is described in details at http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/771773/unable-to-save-existing-javascript-file#details
The only way I have found to get around the problem is to disable the extension.
started out OK, but then one day VS 2012 wouldn't start - hang on splash screen - start in safe mode and remove this extension and then it starts OK again...sigh
This is a great extension with tons of excellent and indispensable features, however, it has a pretty major bug that prevents JavaScript files from being saved. Please fix this bug in an otherwise wonderful product.

I just installed this and now I've noticed that class objects like DateTime, Nullable, defined structs and others are now in normal (black) color rather than the color used for classes and other objects (light blue/green).
I found that turning OFF Colorized Parameter Help in the Tools | Options, Productivity Power Tools returns to the default IntelliSense colors.
Can this be fixed soon please as it's very annoying to have it as is right now but at least we can turn it off. Thank you.

It would be great if this was fixed.
Hi, how can achieve the convinient functionality that was in version for VS2010? Ctrl+2 to quickly navigate to any class/member in the current source file.
I have been having a problem with my visual studio hanging as soon as I try to start a graphics debugging session (alt+f5), but I finally went ahead and attached a debugger to see what's up.
The issue appears to be that the visual studio graphics debugging engine performs operations on the UI, spawns windows, moves stuff, etc.. and when the Document well is involved, it appears to hang.
The full call stack is too large to paste here, but I posted it here:

The weird thing is that this does not happen 100% of the time, but once it happens, it will persist until I give up. Then it'll randomly be fixed next time I decide to give it a try.. Likely something about the state of my Visual Studio UI?
Anyway I've confirmed that disabling the document wells option fixes the issue (and renabling it brings the issue back). Would be great to see this fixed as I'm a big fan of the enhanced document well, but I'll have to go without it for now.
Ps. Using the latest version (11.0.60403.0) on VS 2012 with update 1 and 2 installed.
My team has StyleCop enabled with requirements that the 'System' using directives be placed above all others (Rule SA1208).
Is there a way to have the 'sort usings' functionality sort in this way? If not, please consider adding it.
hi folks - I've installed the Productivity Power Tools. I can access many of the new features but the new Solution Navigator is nowhere to be seen. Do I need to do something to enable this functionality?
Thanks.
Pete
The new solution explorer in vs 2012 is way more behind the solution navigator included in the power tools. you cant expand members, like methods, and cant navigate to the local variables, which was extremely useful in a long method. The only improvement is the preview selected items.
It would be nice to see the solution navigator back in the tools
In VS2010 with PPT, when I pinned tabs I got (in effect) two rows of tabs.
I see that no longer works in VS2012 / PPT.
And I wanted (and requested, very nicely) MULTIPLE tab rows.
While I use a portrait mode monitor and have less width to work with (enough for about five file tabs), I'm sure other developers open lots of files and would like to see multiple tab rows, too.
I got a very nice REPLY when I requested this for PPT / 2010, but I'm sad to say now there's only a single row even when pinned.
Please consider supporting multiple tab rows in the tab well on PPT / 2012.
Thanks again for considering this again.
If would really be great if we could see an outline of nested if statements - and have the option to collapse/expand them as though each if statement was wrapped in a region.
