Here are my favorite FlexBuilder bugs. 1. Place the mouse pointer over a class name, or something else that you can control-click to jump to the definition. Click and hold the mouse button. Now hit the control key. The definition for the word under the pointer is immediately opened. This happens to me all the time when I'm pasting text into place. I'll click to the location I want to paste into, then hit control-v. If I time it wrong, the mouse button is still down and when I hit the control key, my editor window changes.
2. Drag and drop text. This is the 21st century, right? Why can't I select some text and drag it to a new location. I can do this in wordpad, why not Eclipse? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Pan Troglodytes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I finally remembered the fourth bug. > > When you have a line like this: > > public function foo() > > (note the spaces before "public") > > Highlight all the spaces, from the beginning of the line to the word > public.
