[comp.lang.c++] Borland C++ cut/copy/paste flaky

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (04/18/91)

I'm experiencing a problem where sometimes the cut/copy/paste
functions of the IDE aren't working.  Is this a known bug?  Is there a
fix?

Well, I thought I was the ONLY one having this problem, I've found it works
a little more predictably with /Editor Options/Persistent blocks/ turned 
off, but it must be a real problem.  Since I have a clone 286 whenever I
call about a problem, they blame it on my hardware...

If others are experiencing strange behavior with cut/copy/paste or with
mousing the scroll bars crashing the program ( especially in 43 line VGA ), 
send me email and I will compile it ( then I'll link it! ) and send it to 
bugs@borland.com.

turns out that borland knows about this.  Try turning persistent
blocks on normally, then off when you get in, or on & off again if you
keep it off normally.  They claim this clears it up.  Have yet to
confirm it.

I sure hope it's know.  It drives me crazy, but I'm too lazy to call
Borland ... maybe someday I will.  I have not been able to determine what
causes the cut/paste to quite working, but it can be fixed by selecting and
then de-selecting the "persistent block" feature (I use the word "feature"
loosely :-) ).
