[PB4.40_x86] really annoying editor behaviour

[Rozek]

Hello!

From time to time I run into a really annyoing editor behaviour: whenever I press Return or try to position the mouse within the editor, it jumps to a fixed location within the code, e.g. the procedure I selected earlier in the "Procedures" list.

This behaviour is *really* annyoing! Does anybody know how I can stop the editor from jumping?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Rozek,

I copy that behaviour. I got mad today working in PB4.40b3 on my MacBook. It jumps to one procedure, sitting almost in the middle of code. If you imagine this is line 1500, and the cursor is jumping there from line 2500...
The behaviour was introduced with PB4.40b2 at least I think. Didn't try with a prior version though.

This was fixed with beta 3. Are you sure you don't still have the beta2 IDE ?

I have reported this as not fixed in 4.40x86b3!

@Rozek
I think it was your suggestion to un-select (click in white area) item in Browser window to stop the jump behavior. So click on item to goto item, then unclick that item.

Hello!

I just verified that I am using the latested version of PB (i.e. 4.40 beta 3).

Before installing it, I manually removed the old PureBasic folder to wipe out any previous installation.

The problem still appears...

Hello again!

I might have found a workaround (which let's me use PB again, at least):

- configure two tools for the tools panel, at least (I chose "Procedure Browser" and "ASCII Table")
- after having used the "Procedure Browser" (e.g. by clicking on a procedure's name) immediately switch to the other tool

You are now again able to use the editor!

However, now another bug appears: although the "Procedure Browser" is no longer active, the chosen procedure is still shown on screen!
