Why does Visual Studios randomly change code?!

[Steve Kershaw]

This is the oddest problem!
When I do a copy (<ctl> C) and paste (<ctl> P) in my C# code I
sometimes find that Visual Studios has deleted the first few letters of
several consecutive lines elsewhere in the code! Code dosent compile
and I have to figure out what Visual Studios deleted.

Further, when I do a paste (<ctl> P) the focus (where the cursors
located) is moved to another location. In other words, when I paste I
expect the focus location to be to the right of the paste, but it ends
up several lines away from there!

Strange, very strange.

Thanks
Steve

Is it possible that the copied text has hidden carriage returns and other
control characters? I use PureText to filter out all but the text portions
when pasting.
