Summary:

PROBLEM ID: QCW9109004

SYMPTOMS

Under certain conditions, the Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win)

Graphical Development Environment version 1.0 editor may appear to

have lost some text, without providing a vertical scroll bar to

restore that text.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickC for Windows

version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new

information here as it becomes available.

More Information:

The following steps will demonstrate this behavior.

1. Load the sample code below into a source window of default size.

Notice that there is no vertical scroll bar, since the source code

does not extend beyond the length of the window.

2. Drag the lower border of the window up so that only the first line

of code is visible. A vertical scroll bar now appears.

3. Click the lower button of the vertical scroll bar a few times, so

that only the "printf" statement is visible in the source window.

4. Now drag the lower border of the window all the way down as far as

possible. Notice that the vertical scroll bar has disappeared, but

all lines of code above the "printf" statement are not visible. At

this point, you cannot restore the text with a mouse; you must use

the arrow keys to move the cursor up enough lines to restore the

text.

Sample Code

-----------

/* Compile options needed: none

*/

#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)

{

printf("Hello Windows!\n");

}
