Hi @Anto BAro ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Have you tried to create a new project and check if the (+/-) is working in other projects?

Please update your VS2019 to latest version 16.11.27 and launch your VS2019 in Safe Mode (run devenv /SafeMode in Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019). It will run the VS without any extensions, check if the installed extensions affect or not.

You can try to reset environment settings for Visual Studio 2019.

Sincerely,

Anna

Hi Anna, I tried with the Update VS2019, with the SafeMode and Reset environment, but the problem is not solved. Now the release is 16.11.27

However I have noticed that sometimes when I click on the " - " the tooltip of the namespace is displayed, or some light blue empty spaces with a broom next to them. (See the pic)

It seems that you have an extension for .NET, but it is not clear if it causes the issue.

I disabled all installed extensions, and after close and open VS2019, but unfortunately the issue persists.

Resolved. The problem is not caused by VS2019 but by my docking station. Thank you all
