just double click on the VC's main editor's horizontal splitter. the screen splits as it supposed to do, but the care in the lower screen wjile the upper one is active :)

i reported this a year or so ago and got a positive response that this was a bug, still not fixed. btw, i'm using the splitter very often and this makes me

gl thanks for a great product, btw

This is the Visual Assist .NET 7.1 and Visual Assist 6.0 Forum!

I bet you're using Visual Assist X...

Moving it to the proper Forum...

using .NET 2003 and VAX 1289 with C++ i put the caret on the 3rd line of code on the screen, ie near the top of the page. then i double click on the page divider marker, which moves the marker to the middle of the screen, splitting the screen in the process.

the caret is in the bottom split / pane / window, and this is the active split / pane / window.

are you using VC6? which version of VAX are you using? i don't have VC6 on this machine, but i do have it on another machine. do you get this problem if you disable VAX? not all bugs in the IDE are caused by VAX

as for reproducing this, if you do what i have just described doing, what happens on your machine?

Hi Feline,

thanks for excellent description:) yeah, I get this problem with VC6 and the latest VAX (and with all the previous versions).

this is certainly VA bug, coz I'm using this feature quiet often and i know VC handles this correctly:) (you really expect this could be a bug in VC IDE?:))

Like feline, I can't reproduce this bug. The caret moves to the bottom pane, and the bottom pane is active. Behaviour is correct (and identical with VAX disabled).

I'm using .NET 2003, and VAX 1283.

I can repro this esily (VC.6, VAX.1287).

When you double-click splitter, window splits. Cursor (caret) is blinking in bottom half. Top half is active until you explicitly switch panes (by means of clicking or using F6). Meaning that when you press arrow keys, caret in bottom half doesn't move, but top half starts scrolling, description bar changes, etc.

When you double-click splitter while VAX is not active, top half has both cursor and focus.

When you activate VAX while window is split - it is activated only in top half - coloring, descriptions, popups, everything.

right, now i see this to. when i first tried this i manually dragged the splitter bar rather than double clicking it. missing out one little detail can make quite a difference *sigh*

the workaround for now is to manually drag the splitter bar, since the problem does now happen then. personally i always drag the bar, since i never want a 50/50 split on the code window when i use it.
