Summary:
PROBLEM ID: CV9111001
SYMPTOMS
When using the Microsoft CodeView Debugger versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.11,
and 3.14, highlighting more than a screen of text with the mouse
may stop the window text from scrolling, and therefore not allow
any more highlighting to take place.
After scrolling a few lines past the bottom of a window, the
scrolling may stop, and no further highlighting can take place.
RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, use the keyboard to highlight the text
by using SHIFT+PAGE DOWN or SHIFT+PAGE UP.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft CodeView
versions 3.0, 3.1, 3.11, and 3.14. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here as it becomes available.
More Information:
To re-create the problem, enter CodeView with a large executable so
that the corresponding source file will be loaded into the source
window. Place the mouse cursor anywhere in that window, click the left
mouse button, and hold it down.
While holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse cursor to the
bottom of the screen so that the text in the window begins to scroll.
Hold the mouse in that position; the screen will soon stop scrolling
and any subsequent mouse movement will have no affect on the
highlighted area.
This is actually a feature in CodeView to allow printing of the
selected text. The edit features are highlighted only when one line
(portion) of code is highlighted.
