Hey folks;
I've got a weird problem... whenever I try to drag and drop a toolbox
item onto a form in the Window Forms editor, the control is
automatically added on the first click.
This gives me very little control over where it ends up, and as you
can imagine, is somewhat inconvenient.
Anyone know a fix for this? My work system doesn't do this.
(VS 2005 SP1 Pro on both systems).
Thanks,
Simon 4 1495
*prod* Any Microsoft support people around? Or do I have to start
emailing people I know on the .NET team?

I think the reason you didn't get any replies is that your
post was a little confusing, I know I couldn't work out
exactly what you were getting at.

What I'm seeing with most controls is something like this:
Open a blank form in Winforms.
Try to drag a splitter panel over.
When I click on the toolbox item to start dragging (drag is click and
hold, then move and finally release), the initial click (even though
I'm still holding the mouse button) immediately adds the control to
the Form.
With panels etc. this is infuriating, because you need to be able to
drag them into the right parent panel.
Others have seen something similar; this issue goes back a while, but
it seems pretty rare. I've tried nuking my VIsual Studio settings, but
it doesn't fix it.
Hey Jan... just checking - did that help at all?
