Hello. I have recently been very annoyed by a problem that was in VFP6 SP5, and appears to be in VFP7 SP1 as well. It appears the scrollbars in the code-view for classes doesn't work properly-- it does for PRG files. Here's a step-by-step:
>
>1. Open/create class and modify a method
>2. Enter enough text in method to enable scrollbars(make it a few pages worth to make the problem easier to notice).
>3. Move the scroll block to the middle of the scrollbar
>4. Move the mouse cursor over the scroll block and click without moving the mouse position itself.
>
>You may notice(I've done this on numerous systems), that the scroll block automatically pops up about 50 pixels, moving the text the appropriate amount as well. I have been forced to actually click on the scrollblock to scroll, as my Logitech's scrolling function doesn't work with VFP(it's the only application I've found it not to work with). Right now, I'm doing as much scrolling as I can via the keyboard, but it would be nice to have a compliant GUI as well. Any suggestions? Thanks.



Gezzz, you know, for the longest time the mouse wheel never scrolled my VFP code windows, unless I clicked the wheel down first (which sucks). Revisiting this issue finally led me to go to Control Panel/Mouse/Wheel Settings (which I admit I was too lazy to do in the past since I usually use the keyboard all the tiem :P) and clear the "Enable enhanced scrolling" checkbox. Lo'n'behold it works just like every other app now!

Hehehehe.
