What do you mean by Error List window continuously pops up? As I make a change in the code I do see errors show up and disappear in the error list but it does not prevent me from coding
Error List Appears While Editing

I am using Visual Studio 2022 (64-bit) Version 17.1.0 to create Xamarin.Android apps using C#. While editing my code, the Error List window continuously pops up as I edit my code. For example, if I start commenting a line, the Error List immediately opens after typing a single "/". This makes it nearly impossible to edit my code without closing the Error List completely. This problem only recently started, I think it may have something to do with an update, but I am not sure what to do about it. So far, I have only noticed this in C#, but it may be applicable in other places as well. What is the problem?

2022-02-22T05:44:59.617+00:00 It is very consistent, but what I mean by "Error List window continuously pops up" is that the docked Error List opens after typing a single character (like the / mentioned above), moving focus away from the text editor. This therefore prevents me from continuing to type without moving back to the text editor. It does not "prevent me from coding", but can significantly increase the amount of time required to do even simple things like comment or enter code, since I need to do the extra step of moving focus back to the text editor.

2022-02-22T18:13:42.04+00:00 I suppose that is possible, although I haven't recently installed any new extensions (but there is always stuff that happens in the background, so who knows). The inconsistency and fact that it doesn't cause an error makes it hard to tell. I guess I'll just have to hope that some future update (if that is the problem) of whatever is causing the problem comes soon, or if it is something in my configuration I end up changing it back at some point. Thanks for your help, I'll try to post an answer if I ever find out the source of the problem.
