My apologies if the title of this post isn't quite right. I had a hard time coming up with the right words. When you enable the outlining mode in Visual Studio 2012 (Options->Text Editor->Basic->VB Specific), a vertical line with an expand or collapse button appears on the left side of your code window.
Each time your mouse crosses that line, the text to the right is shaded momentarily. It is very distracting especially if you use click in that area often to highlight entire lines, set/clear breakpoints or just move your mouse over it on the way to the solution explorer, property window or whatever other windows you have to the left of your code window.
What is the benefit? I am not sure but if you stand back and watch my screen as I work you wonder why the darn thing is constantly blinking. This did not occur in Visual Studio 2008 (I recently upgraded). I think its purpose is to highlight the area that would be collapsed if you clicked the "-" button or double clicked the line.
Is there any way to turn off this behavior without completely disabling outlining?
Thanks!
