Useless Inc. - Curious

I was writing some code with Visual Studio 2005, and pressed Alt+Keypad 8 (under ReSharper, this moves the current method up/down). Not only did this produce the ASCII code 8 - backspace (control character) or inverse bullet (printable character) - but it also completely screwed up the font on the same line:

For what I have seen till now, and as you probably know/remember - I don't use write as much code as you probably do, ReSharper has many bugs with VS2005, Plus it literally eats my RAM out :/

I'm not sure this is a ReSharper bug; regardless, I've been using alpha, RC and final builds of ReSharper for VS2k5 for a few months now and it's been almost 100% stable (I did encounter a bug or two, but nothing major and no stability issues).

RAM should not really be a concern for a dedicated programmer, unless your company skimps on computer specs. I consistently run Outlook, Total Commander, SourceGear Vault client, one or two MSDN windows, Notepad++, 1-3 instances of Visual Studio, an instance of Firefox and additional software (IE, ActiveSync, XMPlay, FDM, JetBrains Omea Pro, AVG and more) concurrently, and with 2GB installed RAM is the least of my concern. The bottlenecks are usually CPU (we'll be moving to dual core shortly) and I/O.
