Hallo,

i´m really new in Developing with B4A. So HALLO EVERYBODY

While editing a Project i really often Scroll the window to have a look at other codeparts and then i´ll scroll back to the position my Cursor is actually.

For example:

I have an b4a-File-Length of 200 Lines of code (just an example here)

If my Cursor is actually blinking on Line 100 at Caret-Pos 50 and i use the mousewheel on my mouse... Maybe scrolling to bottom...

A short moment the windows scrolls up... But then The Lines are scrolled back to Line 100 (the one with my cursor) and i´m loose my "scrolling region" (the lines i see in the window)... It is not possible to scroll to line 190 to have a look there... After a second (or something similar) the "view" scroll back to line 100 (its not a really scrolling; its more an "jump to line 100 and show it as visible line 1 in the window".

I REALLY run often in this - in my eyes - trap :)
Maybe it is an Feature?

No matter if its an bug or a feature: How can i change the editor-behaviour to avoid these "Problem"? ;-)

I want to view that part of my code i want so see and i want to position my cursor whereever i will :D


A few days now i´ve played with b4a and i´m REALLY surprised about my progress till today and i´m really happy about that. WOW! GREAT! :sign0098:

regards, Manfred
PS: If it is needed as backgroundinfo: I´m using Windows 8 and v2.71 of b4a.

Erel is there a fix for this, as it's now affecting the way I work and as mentioned it's very unproductive!! I've checked and unchecked libraries, but to no avail. Can you give a little more information about this issue and how and why it occurs and how to resolve it.

Cheers, HTTPUtils2 lib reference removed and now it's fine - although I thought I'd already tried that before and it hadn't worked..!! Oh well.

Hi,

before you probably didn't restart the IDE after you removed the reference. I fight with this STRANGE behaviour too (my mouse could talk about it).
I have a library with some classes and I add one module which is used in these classes as well. This was the beginning... :)

To Erel, is there some timeframe for the next release (with a fix) please?
