This happens every day. I close RDi and shut down my computer at the end of each day. I have not cleared any caches, but when I complete a task, I close all edit tabs before starting the next. However, this is not associated with any specific source file, or source member. It is a pervasive thing for me.

Hmmm, that typing behaviour sounds suspicious. Have you tried closing all
your edit sessions and clearing the cache? However it may very well be
due to some bad characters in the file causing the character position in
the data not line up with the visual character position. Could it be that
this file has been edited locally with a PC editor at some point? I would
look on the affected line(s) for characters that are not displayed.

I have noticed it, and just written it off to flakiness of RDi. There are
several little things that bug me, but not enough to complain about it, and
also because it is so hard for me to open a PMR. I sometimes can see the
values popup, and sometimes can't. If a data structure has anonymous fields
in it, the values display properly in the monitor view when the DS is
added, but as soon as a value in the DS changes, everything below the first
anonymous field is wrong. Monitor and Variables views get confused with
scope: Variables does not always contain all "in-scope" variables, and
Monitor sometimes looses track of global variables. On the plus side, if a
DS with anonymous fields does appear in the variables view, all fields have
the correct value, even after changes.
Apart from the debugger, there is other flakiness. Sometimes when typing
after moving the cursor, the cursor skips two positions after the first
character is typed. So if I have something like CHAIN RRN RECORD;, and I
want to put a data structure in there after the record name, I position the
cursor to just before the ';', and type ' DSNAME'. Sometimes it works
properly and I end up with CHAIN RRN RECORD DSNAME;, but sometimes I get
this CHAIN RRN RECORD ;DSNAME. It is relatively frequent, maybe a dozen
times a day. I would like to blame my keyboard or fat fingers on this, but
RDi is the only application this happens with, and it only happens after
the first character typed.
I am using Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit, RDi 9.1.1.1

I really appreciate this example. I have forwarded it to the debugger

"Happy to help but currently working on a critsit at the moment and other

that's
not possible we can at least raise a defect. That way it won't get lost

my inbox. What would you rather do? "
Sorry Edmund - I wasn't intending to report this /here/ as a defect. I
was hoping to get some consensus on whether other RDi people are
experiencing the same thing, preparatory to...
I am getting an internal defect opened but it will get more priority if
it
comes from one of you guys.
...opening an official PMR. Which I shall do tomorrow after I clear my
desk a bit :-)
