FIX: SHIFT+Click to Select Text in 100K File May Fail (57380)
This article was previously published under Q57380
SYMPTOMS
Selecting a block of text near the end of a large file (approximately
100K or larger) sometimes does not work properly when using the
following steps:
- Place the insertion point at some location that you want to mark as
the beginning of the selection block.
- While holding down the SHIFT key, click the mouse at some other
location to mark the end of the selection block.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Interpreter
environment in Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.00 for the Apple
Macintosh. This problem is corrected in QuickBasic version 1.00b.
MORE INFORMATION
When the selection works incorrectly, the inverse video selection
block either falls short or runs past where you SHIFT+clicked to mark
the end of the selection.
This behavior does not occur if you try to select text near the
beginning of a file. Paging down towards the end of the file and
selecting text in the manner described above demonstrates the problem.
