How about not being able to read the include paths in VS? I'm talking about this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/0cTZG.png You can view 2 lines at a time. After almost 20 years they still haven't fixed this. Where is their core dev team that should make the IDE experience great? Classic.
It is classic. Scott Meyers did a presentation on that, calling it the "keyhole" interface, because it shows the view as if you looked at the data through a keyhole.
Sometimes I defeat the keyhole by doing a "select all" in it, and then pasting it into notepad. I do the reverse, too: if the text entry box is only an inch square (some companies do this), I'll compose the message in notepad then cut&paste it into the keyhole.
