I support that idea as there is a natural professional interest in it for developers and would keep the Lounge what it was meant to be, a place to hang around to discuss non work related issues.
Cheers!

eh?
The Lounge is definitely a place to discuss work related issues. In fact that's it whole reason for being: a place where developers can hang out and talk about their life as a software developer.
It's not a place to have your technical questions answered - those go in the programming forums - but it is a place for technical discussions.

Just think, you could soon have your own spanky-dank forum to play with.

Corrected, thanks !
My apologies oh One of Slacker flavour '007: but you are both so brilliant; I'm sure you can understand how I can get dazzled by the lights of both your intellects and confuse you. Or, it could be early Alzheimer's.

Now, if I can get all of CP to see the light, what a wonderful world this would be.

Worthy discussions that I think would fit into the Work and training issues[^] forum nicely.

Hi Chris,
I'm biting my tongue so I don't suggest a Jokes forum which I guess would be like liposuction for the Lounge.

Thanks Luc, I have altered the reference to Liposuction, which I think is more relevant.

When I'm typing or editing a long message, the vertical scroll bar kicks in as it should. I'm scrolled down a few pages with something highlighted and move the mouse out of the editor and whamo, the editor loses vertical position and caret position and goes to some random location (usually the top of the page).

JSOP was experiencing this with IE7. I've never been able to replicate it. Which browser are you using?

IE8 & IE9.
You know what it might be? If the mouse innocently moves over the hot buttons at the button perhaps. The B I U S small BIG, etc. That does seem to mess up the scroll position, but I wasn't able to dupe on my home PC where it completely loses the scroll position. Home is XP & IE8. Will try to repro at work on IE9 & Win7.

One thing I have been able to replicate is that, when clicking outside of the edit window, and then clicking back in, the cursor is reset to the top of the text you've entered.
I haven't been able to find any script in our code that cares about losing focus. Are you running any add-ins that may cause the focus to be lost?

I searched here, and noticed SA Kryukov raised this question before, but did not receive an answer:[^].
After the OP made a graceful apology for a remark I reported as "abuse:" I deleted the comment I made telling the OP I had reported his comment, and made another comment accepting his graceful apology, but I am concerned that I see no way to "undo" the reporting of the message as "abuse."
In the spirit of "all's well that ends well," I'd like to make sure no negative "remnant" (blue glow of Cerenkov radiation ?) is left behind for posterity (posteriority ?).
thanks, Bill

Top-notch idea. Like in the orginal thread, I've accidentally reported one member.

Yes, this needs to be added.

If you have a number of files, and you click the rename button for example the last file, it tries to rename the first file, by showing the enter box against the first file and not the one you want to rename. It does this on both the first step file list, and the second step file list.

One of the servers had a bad case of ASP.NET indigestion.
We use WebForms (yeah, old school) and one of the issues is that web controls and pages get compiled in an order that can sometimes get things mixed up. A page can suddenly become convinced that a webcontrol simply doesn't exist because that control may have been compiled as part of a different page and the wiring gets screwed up.
This generally happens at deploy time, but it sorts itself out quickly (or I kick it firmly). Once it's compiled that's it - no more problems.
However, for some reason the pages completely forgot who they were wired up to and we had that error happen. No deploy, no recompile, no nothing. Just spontaneous craziness.
I'm forcing a full recompile now that will fix it.

In Q&A the "Add a Solution" button appears directly below the question, before the "Have a Question or Comment". This seems the wrong way round to me.

I wanted to make is so that those who could answer the question immediately could quickly get to where they needed to be without having to scroll through (potentially) a lot of comments to find the "I know the answer! Let me answer it!" button. Doing it this way means the button is always in the same relative place to the question.

Hmm, that seems to make a lot of sense.
