Editor bug: handling compiler error

14 Apr 2011

When one double-clicks an error in the Compiler Output window, the cursor in the edit window moves nicely to the spot where the error occurs.

If, however, some text in that editor window had been previously selected (highlighted), that selection is not canceled.

The result is that any characters typed in to fix the error will not be written at the location of the blinking cursor. Instead, they will overwrite the selected text.

(This was seen in FF 3.6.16, with XP Pro SP3.)
