Charles Dietz posted a problem with selecting text in the top row of Jellyfish in the other forum and I just wanted to let you know this effects FireFly too. Can FF be fixed like you did JF so selecting text is easier both in code and Project Notes Windows?
I noticed it when I use my Project Notes Window to hold values like what messages not to return %TRUE from and things like CBCTL= LOWRD(wParam) and CBCTLMSG= HIWRD(wParam) so I can copy and paste my DDT code and replace the CB values easier. I usually have the window shrunk down to about 3 rows so it isn't in the way, but selecting text is a pain unless I enlarge it everytime.
Also, unless you are going to make Project Notes as a tab in furture versions, can we make it on the bottom right of the window when the project is open so it doesn't cover the tabs to go between Form and Code. Not sure which method of viewing Projects notes I'd like though if you move it to a tab...maybe make it an option or the tabs dockable or something???

The 'problem' is the CodeMax editing component and the fast scrolling it does if you attempt to highlight text on the first line of a window and you accidently move your mouse upwards as you are highlighting the line. If the mouse trails too high then then up scrolling will kick in and before you know it.... you've scrolled up a few pages. I use the keyboard for just about everything so this hasn't affected me a lot (Shift+Arrow keys to highlight, Shift+Del, Ctrl+Ins, Shift_INS, etc...).
To be honest, I really don't know how to fix this. I expect that the CodeMax DLL would have to modified. If I had to do that then I would probably switch to Borje's EDM32 anyway.

The Project Notes window should remember its position. I can't rememebr 100% if the positioning is saved on a per-project basis, but I think that it is not. Dockable, etc... that would have to be in a future version (distant future). :)
Ok, I just played with it again. (In playing, I noticed FF is forgetting my Editor Settings again like Syntax Highlighting and Line Numbering) For a while it wasn't remembering its position, but it finally opened with it on the right this time. Is it always supposed to load the Project Notes the size of a minimized window?
If so you might want to remember the state and size as well...it is small and only has Maximize and Minimize at the moment, so if you click Minimize it just minimizes and of course maximize makes it big. If it remembered its state as minimized though, then it would appear on the bottom left and be in the way...maybe just remember its last opened size or if minimized do what it is doing now with the size of minimized but on the right.
