Hi

This problem is strictly speaking a Visual Studio 2010 issue and not an F# issue, but then again ... maybe one of you know if there are updates for Visual Studio 2010 or the corresponding integrated shell. I can't figure out where I am supposed to look for such updates (MSDN and Windows Update doesn't show anything as far as I can tell).

The "problem" is simple, when IntelliSense runs through the following code the Visual Studio 2010 editor dies, and the same thing is true for the Visual Studio 2010 integrated shell with the August 2010 release of F#.

open System

type IMyInterface<'T> =
     interface
     end

type MyRecord<'X>
     when 'X:> IMyInterface<'X> =
     {
      myfield : MyField<'X>
     }
     with
      member this.clone () =
       {myfield= this.myfield.clone()}
     end

 and MyField<'X>
     when 'X:> IMyInterface<'X> (value: 'X) =
     class
      override this.ToString() = value.ToString()
      member this.clone (): MyField<'X> = this
     end

I know there is a billion ways [ok, maybe closer to a dozen different ways, but that didn't sound quite as grand] to fix the listed code, but that is not the issue at hand, the issue is that it is kind of annoying that the editor goes *puff* now and then.

The problem is a bit strange, isn't it? I'm a bit curious, does anyone have an idea what is 'wrong'?

Best regards
