    Resolved [RESOLVED] mouse drag not working in vb6 editor

    recently i have found that i can not drag blocks of code when editing or drag the code execution point when stepping through code
    i am not sure if there are any other symptoms

    this is not happening in my vba editor, where it works as expected

    anyone else noticed this behavior or have a solution

    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    I've always found cut/paste more precise so I never use it. Trying it here, it seems to be working just fine.

    Tested on 21H2 though.

    hard to move the execution point that way though

    I'm not seeing any issue here. Thought I was running 21H1 but I checked and looks like it updated to 21H2 at some point.

    Any Add-ins loaded - I presume MouseWheelFix, anything else?

    Did you by chance disable the option "Drag-and-Drop Text Editing" under Options → Editor → Window Settings?
