[severity:Other]
In any visual basic form, add the text "import sometexthere" above the Public Class Form1 line (without parenthesis). VS will flag it as an error. Clicking the lightbulb icon on the left margin will result in an error stating "'VisualBasicAddAccessibilityModifiersCodeFixProvider' encountered an error and has been disabled."

Clicking the Stack Trace button on the yellow error message shows this:
