Editor problems in IDE

Hi,

I have some troubles with the script editor focus. Steps to reproduce:
Unfold all regions. Scroll down to the Apply Install command and select this line.
Now drag a command from the right command list. Most often the focus jumps away and shows
the first line of the script. If it doesn't happen the first time simply move the dragged command
back to the list and the focus get lost. Very annoying!

Another IDE editor problem is, that after a while the fold/unfold command is grayed out.
I was not able to record the steps required but it happens always after some time.
The only workaround so far is a complete restart of the IDE.

Martin,

Usually, typing directly in the editor is the best way to add new lines. Drag-drop is slow and gets old very quick!

Just start typing in the editor - the auto-completing command box will suggest close matches to what you have typed so far, and you can expand/scroll the command list directly in the editor.

...scroll the command list directly in the editor.

Ah, nice feature! Good to know. Thanks.

The problem with fold/unfold still drives me crazy. Have you never noticed this?

No, not really. Maybe you are accidentally deleting a "code folding end" region command?
