If you have both a form and code window present at design time in
Microsoft Visual Basic with the current focus on the form, clicking the
upper or lower edge of the splitter bar in the code window fails to shift
the focus to the code window. Clicking anywhere else in the code window
correctly shifts the focus and activates the code window.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce this problem in Visual Basic, choose the New Project
option from Visual Basic's File menu. Double-click Form1 to open a
code window, then click Form1 to return focus to the form. Now
place the tip of the mouse pointer on the upper or lower edge of the
code window's splitter bar such that the pointer remains an arrow, and
is not an I-beam pointer or splitter pointer. Clicking now fails to
shift the focus to the code window. You can click anywhere else in the
code window and the code window will correctly become the active
window.
Note that the "splitter bar" (the horizontal border just above the
editing area and just above the vertical scroll bar) allows you to
split the code window into two parts, which allows you to view two
different sections of code at once.
