Summary
This post provides a detailed walkthrough of using IntelliTrace in Visual Studio 2015 to debug a specific bug in a WPF text editor application. It demonstrates how IntelliTrace's historical debugging capabilities, specifically by capturing File and Gesture events, helped identify an unexpected file reload mechanism triggered by `ReadFile` when saving a file. The post highlights how IntelliTrace saved debugging time by avoiding manual breakpoint setting and iterative testing, allowing the developer to pinpoint the root cause in the `OnFileChanged` method.
