Summary:
If you set a mark in a file, and that location then moves upward or
toward the left in the file, PWB does not reset the mark location;
however, it does correctly update marks that move downward or to the
right in the file.
More Information:
For example, consider the following file:
/* TEST.DAT */
test1
test2
test3
Place the cursor on the "2" in test2. Choose the Define Mark option on
the Search menu. Name the mark "mark1" and press ENTER. Now, move the
cursor to another location in the file. Choose the Go To Mark option
from the Search menu. Go to "mark1". Note that the cursor is back on
the "2" in test2.
Next, add another blank line between test1 and test2. Again, move your
cursor and go to mark1. Note that the cursor is back on the "2" in
test2.
Now, delete both the lines between test1 and test2. Select the Go To
Mark option from the Search menu. Note that the cursor is on the same
location as it was before you deleted these lines. The same behavior
will happen if you delete any of the characters before the "2" in the
test2 line.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 1.0 and
1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
