I have the same problem here, and this will be the final nail in the  
coffin for RB. Enough is enough. Having spent the last few hours  
reading through this list I am appalled at the list bugs and issues  
with what would seem fairly basic requirements for an IDE:

Editfield (lacking functionality)
ContainerControls (poorly implemented)
HTMLViewer (never really worked correctly)
MoveFirst in RealSQLDatabase (doesn't work apparently)
etc ect

The list goes on and on. Many of these issues have been around for a  
very long time.

Over time I have learnt to work around many of the quirks, as I am  
sure most of you have. If I can't get something to work I generally  
find another way to do it, or else I simply avoid having to do it.  
For most of my projects this has been OK.

But now the big one. How can we be expected to develop with an IDE  
that hasn't got its basic navigation tools working correctly. You may  
be OK with this working with smaller projects, but the project I am  
currently working on is fairly large, with an enormous amount of  
code. When I double click to open the code editor I get taken  
somewhere completely different and have to manually search for the  
correct place. This breaks concentration and thought processes, and  
has at times caused me to make expensive mistakes.

Does Real Software really expect us to wait until RB2007r3 to resolve  
these issues - possibly another 3 months?
My subscription expires in 5 days so I am now in a situation where I  
can go back to r1, put up with r2, or spend more money investing in a  
horrendously bug infested product and wait for r3. As a contract  
programmer, I can ill afford these types of issues with the tools of  
my trade.

Hard decision?
