Visual Studio 2022 GUI Serial or IP address combobox makes unwanted changes

Hi,

I am debugging multiple ESP32 projects, and use the Arduino OTA, which works well.  However, I am finding that when I work on another project, connecting via serial, for debugging, I the combobox just randomly switches to an OTA project, sometimes even during compilation.

This can result in deployed stable projects getting overwritten.

Is this a bug?  How can I get that dropdown to avoid just selecting stuff to be updated?

Jeremy

Do you have the vMicro > General > Auto Select a Board/Port When a Device Connects option enabled?

If you disable this it should stop changing the selection automatically.
