Don't know how it happened, but VS2013 + NTVS RC2 got itself in a tizzy, and the project as a whole kept trying to refresh itself, over and over. An obvious manifestation of this was if I expanded a node in the Solution Explorer (say the npm node, and its subnodes), then a second or two later the tree would be collapsed, and the project item would become the selected item in the Solution Explorer. I expand the tree... then it collapses, over and over.
Closing then re-opening VS didn't solve. Only by rebooting the machine did I get it to stop doing this. Now I can't repro it... but I thought I'd mention it anyway, in case someone else has seen something like this.

When the issue first happened, and it refreshed the project over and over, I do believe that I saw errors in that window. Can't recall what they were. Problem was: there was no way to cancel the operation.
