is there a way to change height of intellisense popup in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

Intellisense popup in VS2010 is driving me crazy.

I can only see 9 items at a time in the intellisense popup.

It really makes browsing classes you're not familiar with a lot harder.

In VS2008 you could resize it.

is there a trick to this - or a connect issue someone has already made?

VS2010 Quickwatch: 23 items

VS2010 Main editor: 9 items

Edit: Here's an image. Maximum of 9 items in C# window, but 23 in the quickwatch. Huge productivity difference. Especially since the intellisense popup now does partial matching and not just the beginning of the string.

Vote for it !

Answer 2

It isn't resizable (I just spoke to the main developer that works on it). I'm told that the size is fixed mostly for performance reasons, and that there really isn't a way to change this with an extension, as the size calculation is somewhat complicated (it doesn't actually know how big it needs to be until the first time it is shown).

If you feel very strongly that this should be changed, can you file a bug on Connect? That's the best way to give feedback about it, and allow other people to vote on it. It'll likely be immediately Won't Fixed for VS2010, but it may get considered for future releases.
