@Antoine: I agree the Visual Studio add-on architecture should do more to prevent this kind of issue but I suppose that comes with its own trade-offs in terms of extensibility, etc.

I think it's fair to expect high quality from Microsoft add-ons but Brian Harry has an interesting post about where Power Tools fit in the larger release hierarchy. In my view, they're all about the features we all want NOW--before the next major product release. As with cumulative updates, we install these packages with the knowledge they may contain bugs and testing was not as comprehensive as what it would be for a service pack or major release.

Thanks a lot, this issue has been driving me crazy. The fact that an addon can crash VS makes the whole concept of addons useless. Addons should be isolated from the main app.

It worked for me. Thanks!
