PRB: Can't Undo After Dragging from One Window to Another

Article ID: 138374

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q138374

SYMPTOMS

After dragging from one window to another, if you click Undo on the Edit menu, only the action of the active window is affected.

CAUSE

The buffers for each window are separate. Therefore, the buffer of a window that is not active is not affected by Undo. Undo works if the non-active window is selected, then Undo affects the desired buffer.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Open a text file in Visual FoxPro's text editor.
  2. Select some text with the mouse.
  3. Drag that text into the Command window.
  4. On the Edit menu, click Undo. The text that was dropped into the Command window disappears, but it does not reappear in the window containing the original text.
  5. Click the window containing the original text.
  6. On the Edit menu, click Undo. The text that was originally selected and dragged to the Command window reappears in the window containing the original text.
