I've got this very odd bug that appears to be a quirk in Visual Studio 2010: Sometimes, when moving the cursor into double quotes of a CSS style="" attribute the cursor refuses to move. I can't type anything, and the keys that respond are the UP/DOWN cursor keys and the DEL key (but not BACKSPACE).
Typing does nothing, but pushing LEFT/RIGHT on the cursor keys produces the following error:
The operation could not be completed
I've got no idea what's causing this, but I would hazard a guess that Intellisense is getting very confused and bugging out.
At the moment, whenever this happens, I have to write any CSS outsite of the double quotes of the style attribute and then place the cursor where I want the CSS to appear (using the mouse) and press CTRL–V to paste it in. Very annoying 🙁
There must be a way of fixing this problem…?
Hopefully someone has an answer!

Just encountered the issue in VS 2012, in editing C#.
I noticed that the problem had occurred soon after the trial period of Resharper has ended and i inserted a valid license number. It also happened in only some of the source files.
The solution: Tools->Options->Resharper: Suspend.
Try typing - should work now.
Then: Tools->Options->Resharper: Resume.
Problem gone.
