I just installed 1221 today, from 1219, and the following has happened to me two or maybe three times.
The cursor jumps to a completely different part of the file for no obvious reason. This is obviously serious, but I can't repeat it at will, so I'm hoping that someone else will also say they've seen it, and maybe be able to detect the reason. But I think it's always been the case that I've been replacing some text by highlighting it and overtyping, and I also think that I've always been replacing the text with a digit.
Anyone else seen something like this in 1220 or 1221? |

| We fixed a number of jumping problems that occurred when word wrap is enabled. Perhaps there is yet another. If you have word wrap enabled, try disabling temporarily. |

| Word wrap is off at the moment, though it was on temporarily earlier today. (Not when this jumping occurred though). |

The only time I've ever seen the cursor jump around randomly is in VC6. I can cause it by right-clicking on any toolbar, and then trying to check the menu item for the "VAX" toolbar. When I do that, the VAX toolbar doesn't appear, and the last file on the WndTabs row becomes the active file.
But I've never seen it jump around to a different point in the same file. Does this happen to you in a .NET 200x IDE?

| Yes, I have had this in .NET 2003 too (with the 1221 build of VAX). Very annoying when you're not really paying attention and then you find out that you just typed a load of stuff in the middle of nowhere :( |

i had a problem that is slightly similar with VAX 1216 and VS .NET 2003.
i hasnt happened since, but i havent been editing statements in quite this way since then either. from an email i sent to support:
using ~ to show the cursor position
i started with:
qDebug("{%s} {%d} - path {%s}, res {%ld}, ok {%ld}", __FILE__, __LINE__,
strLink~);
where strLink is a local variable of type "QString"
i type a little more, getting to:
qDebug("{%s} {%d} - path {%s}, res {%ld}, ok {%ld}", __FILE__, __LINE__,
strLink.lat~);
now i use the tab key to accept the first of two auto complete options (no tomato icons in the options box) to get
qDebug("{%s} {%d} - path {%s}, res {%ld}, ok {%ld}", __FILE__, __LINE__,
strLink.latin()~);
now an auto complete box (with a tomato icon) pops up offering me the completion of a single comma. i press tab to accept this on principle, and i end up with:
qDebug("{%s} {%d} - path {%s}, res {%ld}, ok {%ld}", __FILE__, __LINE__,
strLink.lati, ~);
so, three characters were deleted, and then the comma followed by a space were inserted. the code has been manually word wrapped by me (via Enter) after __LINE__. the obvious common factor here is using Tab to accept a tomato icon completion while editing inside an existing line of code. if i am at the end of the line when i accept a tomato icon completion i dont have any problems (yet). |

| That's a completely different bug, isn't it? The symptoms aren't even similar. Yours sounds the same as thread #1601. |

| that link is in the private forum. i am really not sure if this is similar or not. i mention it since it also seems to involve the cursor moving unexpectedly. |

I think I can reproduce the jumping cursor thing pretty reliably as follows. All our files are under source control — we use SourceGear Vault, not VSS. Checkout a file; highlight a portion of text; overtype it; the first character is inserted in the right place, but then the cursor jumps to the top of the file and further characters are inserted there.
Trying to think what had changed recently, I wondered if it was something to do with the "include modified files in MRU" setting, but I disabled that and it still happened. |

| Still present in 1246. I'm rating this "Critical" as it can cause you to type text into a completely wrong part of the file. |
