Highlighting

[Huskey]

When highlighting a large portion of text in an other application I
click at the beginning of the text and move the mouse to the end of
the text and oress the Shift key and click the mouse. Is it correct
that this process doesn't work in WM? If not, could I suggest this for
the wish list as it would be really helpful when using WM's F6
feature. Many thanks.

Hi Huskey, this works the way you are expecting on my machine: Vista SP2.

Click, scroll, shift-Click will select the text between the two clicks.

So, it sounds like something at your end that might be interfering with this?

Hi Murray

Thanks for your answer. Maybe you or somebody else can help me solve
my problem:

When WM is in full screen mode and I press the Shift key (and click
the mouse) the mouse pointer disappears to the right-hand bottom
corner and isn't visible. Only after moving the mouse the pointer
appears at the right-hand bottom corner again.

When WM isn't in full screen mode and I press the Shift key the
windows task bar appears and the mouse pointer disappears as described
above.

This doesn't happen in any other application.

Many thanks. Raimund.

You just found a bug. Preferences / Misc / Hide mouse pointer -->
disable that and "shift selecting" should work.
Will fix that.
