PDE "jumping" while selecting code.

in General Discussion • Other • 2 years ago

Hi all,

I'm having some problems with the PDE, can't find anything existing in the bug database, so thought I would check, see if anyone else has this. Occasionally when selecting code, the PDE jumps up a screen or two, and leaves me with a huge chunk of code selected. It doesn't seem to happen when I'm working in MSVS2010 or Dreamweaver, but I get it a lot in Processing, to the point where it's driving me so mad that I'm considering moving to Eclipse and enduring a million parent. prefixes. It just seems like if I don't select a line of code exactly in the middle, it jumps.

I've updated the drivers for my input devices, no change.

Does anyone else get this?

Running v1.5 on Windows 7, 64-bit, and now I think about it I never had this in XP64 (same system)

Thanks

Dave

Ah, I haven't noticed this yet.
Well, some editors like SciTE do that: the idea is to keep the caret away from the margins, so that it is always clearly visible. In SciTE, this is finely configurable...

You don't need to select a line exactly in the middle of the window, as long as you click on 4 lines or more from the top or bottom margin.
Personally, I do lot of selection with the keyboard...
