Visual Studio sandbox loads another user's workspace
I saw a very weird issue today. One of our developers opened up his Visual Studio client, and set one of his sandboxes to current. It turns out that this sandbox somehow got mapped to another developer's repository workspace.
In the pending changes view, the other developer's workspace was listed. To set things right, we removed that sandbox, and reloaded the developer's own repository workspace to a new sandbox. Apparently, this has happened one another occasion before. Is this a known bug? I don't think this is user error, because this developer created his workspace before the other developer, and has loaded and used it longer. |

It turns out that this sandbox somehow got mapped to another developer's repository workspace. Sandbox is area on the local machine, and it contains information about the repository workspace which was loaded into it. Was the second user's repository workspace loaded into this sandbox anytime earlier? In that case the sandbox remembers this mapping even if u login as the first user and set this sandbox as current. |
