Visual Studio 2010 IntelliSense doesn't select a default value - it just marks it

I have a pretty annoying problem with the IntelliSense in Visual Studio 2010: Every now and then (but not always - just out of my control) the Intellisense engine chooses to "mark" an option, instead of actually selecting it. This means that instead of typing e n Enter to access the default option starting with "En...", I have to type e...

Intellisense broken in 64 bit Windows when using mixed-mode (i.e. managed C++) assemblies

This is annoying more than anything, but I have no working Intellisense when I use any of my custom web controls in .aspx/.ascx pages. Intellisense in standard <asp:...> controls are fine, as it is in all code-behind files etc. I'm pretty sure this is caused by Visual Studio attempting to analyse the website's bin folder for custom web ...
