You have to release the mouse button then re-click to move.<br /><br />That pretty much eliminates all the spurious select/move IME.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912696305224378407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222893893652665733.post-34026705929154873822012-07-03T02:16:20.340-07:002012-07-03T02:16:20.340-07:00If you have to use that feature, then it is a sign...If you have to use that feature, then it is a sign, that your interface won't behave correctly in high-DPI-scenarios.

I will use it for sure now.<br />I wish they could tie together the "Read-only" for the code and "Lock controls" for the form but, no matter what, it is useful like it is alos.<br />Thanks.Denis Bissonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397467792279648534noreply@blogger.com
