Re: RDi 9.0 highlight and copy between members.

[Jim Essinger <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

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
