Go to last change problem

Arthur · March 31, 2009, 10:53:15 PM

When using navigation -> go to last change in vbscript it takes me to not the last place I did the change at e.g. sTName & " FROM | '" &
and not to
sTName & " FROM '" & |

please create a separated topics for no related themes

Hello Arthur,

please explain in more detail. I could not reproduce the case. In my case HE jumps to last change position (if I for example edited something after &).
What you have chnage step by step, where was cursor before.

Best regards,
Alex

Just edit a vbs file once it is large enough and/or a couple of attempts it just starts placing the cursor not to the last place where the change occurred, but close.

HE can merge some actions, in this case last change position would be start of merged action. This is by design.

Can you please check where is a cursor after undo. If position is same as Last change pos - it is correct.

If not, please post here test sample, and write where to do changes to reproduce a bug.

It is missing/leaving one space (needed to return back to a complete words), so it is a bug.
Now I realize not all lines do this or sometimes it does and sometimes not, no pattern.
Looks like also inserting various amount of spaces.
This happens particularly inside a VBScript function.
Hope that helps.

And I have an idea:
why not to allow navigate - go to last change going to up to say 10 last changes back?
That would be handy!

Sorry Arthur,

this does not help. I could not fix something that can not be reproduced

And this:

QuoteIt is missing/leaving one space (needed to return back to a complete words), so it is a bug.

does not fit to initial description, because in described earlier case positions you pointed were unrelated (so it can be merge Undo case).
Continuos spaces can be merged by Undo and this by design, not a bug.
And this I could not understand:

QuoteIt is missing/leaving one space (needed to return back to a complete words), so it is a bug.

About the idea. Check this:
