Problem with split screen while code editing

[IM13]

Greetings,

I recently downloaded and installed the

Intel Math Kernel Library for Windows Update 10.3 build 7. Product for 32-bit/64-bit (x64) development

and the

Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE for Windows Update 7 Version 2001.7.258 Intel Visual Fortran for 32-bit/64-bit (64) development (for customers who have Microsoft Visual Studio already installed).

Now if I use the split screen while editing my fortran code, my location in the code does not necessarily follow the cursor location. I can type characters, numbers and symbols in the new location. However, if I use the enter button to insert a new line the location in the code where the new line begins is not the location of the cursor.

This occurs in two different fashions.

1. When I first pull down the split screen the new line location will track with the cursor in the bottom portion of the split screen. While active in the top it will insert the line where ever the cursor was last in the bottom portion of the split screen.

ie, I am at line 800 in the bottom screen, I hit enter and get a new line at line 800.
I move to line 850 in the bottom screen, I hit enter and get a new line at line 850.
However if I move to line 600 in the top screen, I hit enter and get a new line at line 850 again.

2. When I remove the split, if the cursor is currently active in the bottom screena new line will occur where
the cursor is located. ie, I move to line 700, hit enter, and get a new line at line 700.

But if the cursor is active in the top screen portion of the split, and I remove the split; anytime I try to insert a new line using the enter key, the new line appears at the last place the cursor was active in the original bottom portion of the split screen. ie, the cursor is active at line 700 in the bottom split. I activate the cursor in top split. Then the split screen is closed. I move to line 800 and hit enter. I get a new line at line 700.

Once the top portion was active when the split screen was closed, splitting the screen again will not remedy the problem. Any subsequent attempt to use the enter button to insert a new line will result in a new line at last active location in the original bottom split. Using the last example, the new line would continue to be at line 700.

None of these problems existed before downloading the updates.

Restarting the program is the only way I have found to overcome this problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi IM13

I have been seeing this problem since update 6. There were other things (related to syntax coloring etc) broken then and hence I failed to report this one.

The text editor support for VS2010 is all-new as of Update 6 and, understandably, there are some bugs. I can reproduce this problem and report it to the developers. Issue ID is DPD200175718.

This is fixed for a future release.

I now expect the fix for this to appear in Update 9.
