Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

I don't know what you are doing that raises these issues. I don't have 
to restart RDi ever, yet you report it's a daily issue.

Admittedly, I don't do any debugging in RDi - perhaps that will change 
now that we'll have a 5250 emulation IN RDi.

I have also been a user of the M$ IDEs and find them to be most 
excellent. Some of the new indentation support is bringing us closer to 
how it is when editing VB, I think.

Now one of the challenges is, the editor still needs to support the 8-80 
style of source data, with the mixed free and fixed stuff, too.

I do get surprised by some of the repaint issues and repositioning that 
seems odd. But it's not been enough to warrant, for me, raising too many 
alarms - although I might eventually!

Cheers
Vern

It "seems" to happen most when I am debugging a program for some strange reason. Not repeatable tough. That is the part that drives me BONKERS!!!! And I KNOW for a fact, I am NOT THE ONLY ONE...
