FIX: SHIFT+Double-Click Selects Vertical Box Wrong InsertPoint (35328)
This article was previously published under Q35328
SYMPTOMS
The editor (List window) in QuickBasic version 1.00 and the Microsoft
Basic Interpreter version 3.00 for Macintosh does not support
selecting text by holding down the SHIFT key and double-clicking the
mouse button. Using SHIFT+double-click can cause a highlighted block
of text to appear in the middle of a vertical section of lines. After
SHIFT+double-clicking, the flashing insertion point may be separated
from the typed text. To eliminate this unusual editor behavior, click
on any line except the line that contains the flashing insertion
point.
Double-clicking can be used for highlighting a word only when the
SHIFT key is not held down.
When using the SHIFT key with the mouse, the QuickBasic editor
supports only SHIFT+single-clicking, which extends a selected
(highlighted) range from the insertion point, or from a previously
selected range, to the clicked location.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be an editor problem in Microsoft
QuickBasic version 1.00 and the Microsoft Basic Interpreter version
3.00 for the Macintosh . The editor needs to be changed so that
SHIFT+double-click behaves like SHIFT+single-click to extend a text
selection. This problem is corrected in QuickBasic version 1.00b for
Macintosh .
