Re: RDi 9.0 highlight and copy between members.

Terry,

I don't ever remember having this issue before 9.0, and I have had the 6.0
through 8.5.1 versions. I even started up my still available 8.5.? version
and tried it. It still works correctly there.

I can replicate the error at will on the 9.0 version. If I take my hand
off the keyboard and use the mouse to select the editor tabs, then the copy
between source members works. If I use the Alt+(arrow right or arrow left)
key combination, it changes or removes the selection in the FROM source
member, and the ALT+C copy command fails.

I guess I should contact IBM support to see if they have an answer.

Thanks!

Jim

I'm still using RDp 8.5.1 and have been frustrated lately for the same
reason - the from source member looses the highlight, and it takes several
attempts to copy a section of code from one member to another. Is it
possible the issue isn't the new version? This is an intermittent problem
and doesn't happen every time.

Hey all.

I have RDi 9.0 installed, and I usually have several source members open
at the same time. In previous versions of this tool, I highlight one or
more lines using the Alt+L and up or down arrow. Once I have a selection I
want to copy to another source, I use the Alt+Left or Right arrow to jump
to the target source member and press Alt+C to copy the highlighted source
to the program I am altering.

In RDi 9.0 it seems that this function breaks easily, as right now when I
try to use it, it will not copy, and the from source member looses the
highlight, or changes it some how to a different selection. I have tried to
change the LPEX editor preference to lpex to match the 8.5 version I still
have installed, but so far it does not seem to have fixed the problem.

Anyone else come across this and have a fix for it?

Thanks!
