Visual Basic Code Window Hides Split View if Resized

Summary:

The Visual Basic development environment (VB.EXE) behaves unexpectedly

when a split Code window is resized. Instead of proportionally

resizing the two sub-windows along with the parent window, the lower

split view is obscured. The only indication that a split window is in

effect is that both the horizontal scroll bar and the bottom of the

vertical scroll bar are also obscured.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Visual Basic

programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching this

problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

Workaround

----------

To work around this problem, resize the Code window to a convenient

size before splitting the window.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

--------------------------

1. Open a Code window.

2. Create a split Code window by placing the cursor between the Code

window header and the top of the Code window and dragging downward.

3. Resize the Code window to a smaller size (whether from the top down

or from the bottom up).

The result is that the lower window is hidden, including any break

points you were trying to track (for example, while watching one set

in each window).
