Sourcesafe window stuck behind Visual Studio

Question

Among the seemingly neverending problems with microsoft visual sourcesafe, i have now done a full 'get' on a project, only for sourcesafe to draw a prompt window which, although i can see fine, i cannot click on or select.

More annoyingly it has totally locked visual studio so it seems both are 'unclickable' while waiting for each other to do something.

Any keyboard shortcuts or any suggestions?

Why is vss so terrible, some parts seem well written while other parts are totally awful.

Answer 1

Move to Subversion.... Sorry, that's about the best advice I can give you.

Answer 2

To be fair, I think this could happen with the Visual Studio source control integration for any VCS, however as previously mentioned - once you ditch SourceSafe, you'll never go back.
