Sometimes, when coding in RAD Studio 2009 (Delphi), suddently the behaviour of the code editor changes. After such an event, a selection is no longer cleared on character input. This often happens after a session of very intense coding (many characters per second!), so I might accidently hit a keyboard (shortcut) combination.
Is this the case? How to “fix” the issue? (I want my selections to be ereased upon character input!)
This is a bug, and you don’t have to quit and restart to fix it. Just hit Insert twice (which changes the text entry mode between Insert and Overwrite and then back) and your text selection will be back to working normally. It’s notoriously difficult to pin down, though from my own experience it seems to have something to do with mixing SyncEdit and Undo. If anyone’s able to find any way to reproduce this consistently, please send it to QC.
