Outline Viewer Selection Moves Code [message #243527] Tue, 08 May 2007 18:51 Go to next message

This is a minor issue, but really irritating. Often, when I select a
method in the Outline view, it moves the selected method to the spot where
the cursor was in the Java editor. I don't want to move the method, just
jump to it in the editor. So I have to do an undo and re-select it. Is
there some way of turning the moving of code from the Outline viewer off?

Thanks!

Interestingly this never happens to me. I'm running 3.3M7 on Windows XP.

If I simply click on a method in the Outline view, it repositions the cursor
in the Java editor such that the cursor in the Java editor is on the
selected method, but it does not cause an edit - ie. the Java code has not
been modified - the method has not moved, merely the cursor.

The only way I can cause the code to be modified if if I drag the method in
the Outline view.

If there any chance you're unintionally causing a mouse "dragging" event,
rather than a click, due to some overlooked configuration option, possibly
external to Eclipse, such as a funky mouse driver or OS accessibility
options?

For example, in the past I've experienced an issue on a touchpad driver on a
notebook computer where it could cause 'drags' instead of clicks... just a
thought incase this was happening to you.

Cheers,

I'm running Eclipse 3.2.2 on XP. At first I thought I might be
unintentionally dragging the method, so have become very careful about
only clicking on the method. I'm on a desktop with a mouse, so can't be
touch pad issues. It takes deliberate effort for me to drag a method in
the outline. Perhaps my mouse is sometimes sending "mixed signals" as
it's cordless.

Thanks for responding.
