Erratic Jumps When Scrolling

[jcharrison]

I have encountered a problem when scrolling in LBW. I am using Windows XP with service pack 3 and the latest version of LBW. When I first get into LBW, if I use the mouse wheel to scroll down it jumps about a third of the way down in my program an starts scrolling from there. It does the same thing at times after looking at and closing the LB help file and in other situations. I think the problem began after I started using the 'bookmark command. Before then I never had this problem.

Otherwise, LBW is a great product to work with and I appreciate its many features.

Thanks for the report. I'll investigate and see if I can discover why this happens for you. I haven't experienced the problem.

I have more information on this problem.

If I am in another window and close it or access LBW by clicking on it's button at the bottom of the desktop and try to scroll without clicking the mouse in the LBW window, it will jump to the paragraph in the jump to paragraph textbox. If I click in the window first it works correctly. Since I don't always click in the window first to make sure that it is active, I get sent far away from where I want to be.

Another problem I found happens is that the same jump box sometimes won't jump to one of my function routines near the end of the program. It will jump to the one before it, or after it. It is not always the same function that it does it on. I play with it some more to see if I can give you any more information.

I'm aware of this problem and have been unable to make it (regaining focus) work properly in all situations. I will give it another try. Thanks for the report.
