Drill Down Not Working 5.1.4.0

• 
  Sorry here is an example. Load .net 2.0 assembly System.dll, browse to Microsoft.CSharp, click on ICodeCompiler... nothing happens.

  Hi Cody,
  
  
  Sorry to see you're having problems. I can't reproduce this at all. I also checked an older version of Reflector and found that the functionality is the same.
  
  When you click on a node in the tree it is just selected whilst other panels, such as the disassembler, have their content updated. To drill down you need to click the +/- handles on the left hand side of the tree nodes (again, this is something that's always worked this way AFAIK). I'm not sure which "Expand Methods" link you're talking about; I can't find this. Can you perhaps post up a screenshot please?
  
  
  Thanks,
  
  
  Bart

  Yes, I have been using Reflector for years so this is an interesting issue. I have duplicated with another dev's machine. I am checking with a couple other devs as well.
  
  
  
  
  I will keep trying to find out why it occurs at our locale. Thanks for eliminating one possibility.

  Thanks Cody,
  
  
  I'm pretty sure you've found something there, because when I clicked the "Expand Methods" link in the disassembly pane it crashes. I just need to make sure I'm definitely using the released build and not a dev build from my own machine, but it certainly looks suspicious.
  
  
  Thanks,

  Hi Cody,
  
  
  False alarm. I just grabbed the version from http://reflector.red-gate.com/ and the crash doesn't happen (latest version is[/] 5.1.4.0). I've tried this several times, decompiling into different source languages, however that's not to say there isn't some very intermittent problem here.
  
  Does this consistently fail for you?
  
  
  Thanks,
  
  
  Bart

  I am curious too if you were able to navigate to the 'string' class by clicking on the following from the screenshot. It should go to the string class when you click on string.
  
  // Properties
  public override string FileExtension { get; }
  
  Does the disassembler window use a browser plugin or something that could be affected by IE (Internet Explorer) security updates? We had this pushed to us the other day.

  Interesting point. The answer is that unless you're running under Mono, which I'm assuming you're not, then yes it does use the same browser pane as IE, which is exported by shdocvw.dll.

  Do the 'links' use ActiveX?

  Without digging in to the code I can't be sure. Let me look into it.

  I wonder if it could be a GPO (group policy issue). I am looking at the settings, but I do not know what I should be looking for to be turned on or off.

  Just want to confirm that I'm one of the developers that works with Cody and am experiencing the same thing. When clicking on any of the links in the disassembler nothing happens. We're also local admin on our machines if that helps.
  
  Thanks,

  looks like this person is experiencing the same thing
  
  http://www.red-gate.com/MessageBoard/vi ... php?t=8084
  
  and we have very similiar setups.
  Windows XP - 32bit
  Reflector version: 5.1.4.0
  ie version: 6.0 (forced also)
  
  however I'm not using any addons, not sure if cody is or not.
  
  The most important fact though, it appears that all 3 of us are in tn... thats always an issue ;-)

  Any progress on determining why this is still happening with the latest version?
  
  Thanks.
