strange design-time control behavior

[George Hardy IV]

Hello all,

I have two forms in my project...
one form allows me to use the arrow keys to move and delete controls on my
form.
the other form does NOT allow me to delete controls or move them with arrow
keys, but I can move the controls with the mouse. Nothing is locked on the
form, so I am very confused. Anyone know what the deal is?

Also, when I have a tab control on the form, and select it, my mouse gets
trapped in the container until i press esc. Not great "feature if i double
click to look at some code, then I cant get out. Normal behavior for .NET?

thanks,
george hardy

George,

In the way that you describe it, than my first thought is, that there should
definitly be something wrong in your code.

I hope this helps,

Cor

The behavior you describe should not occur -- it's a known bug. Maybe
deleting your project's SUO file fill (temporarily?) fix the problem.

thanks, i'll give the suo file thing a try. i like the "bug" answer better
than the "code" answer, especially since i hadn't "written" code yet. ;)

thanks to both of you, though for your help. 'preciate it!
