I just tried it with a few configurations. And I can conclude that it's not just you.

With Chrome and VS2008 with a project open I at least get the Solution Explorer refreshes you described. I don't have time to investigate further right now but my first reaction was that it was a bit scary that a webpage would be able to influence a separate application like that... But a more likely scenario is that VS has hooked up a debugger to the thread and it triggers this behavior.

I don't have any experience with .NET on the web, so I can't say for sure. But I am for sure going to bookmark this and have a look at it later.

Thanks! :)

except it's not just VS, Outlook had certain elements flicker too.

If you go to the chrome options page, and look at the under the hood tab, that whole scroll region flickers too.

Chrome's task manager shows that silverlight is loaded somewhere on that page. maybe that is it.
