Visual Studio edit view corrupt for xaml and Winforms design views

57 Views Asked by At

I'm looking for help on a bad editing experience. As you can see in the image below, when I try to edit an xaml file, the edit windows are corrupted. This is for a WPF project.

[EDIT] I have since discovered the same issue with Winforms design views.

enter image description here

The screen review and source code are in the left corner, overlaying the tabs. There is nothing in the preview window even though I have defined a window and some controls. There are no scroll bars or other editor controls. The mouse doesn't work in this window. The view and problems are the same if I dock it back in the main window.

I've updated to the latest Visual Studio (VS22 17.9.5 64-bit Community). I've checked for new display drivers and I have no display hardware acceleration.

The file is editable in Blend, but this is a difficult workflow when I'm using Copilot to decorate the controls with styles and resources.I have to switch back and forth between Blend and VS, and can't do it inline.
