Huh? Doesn't your editor window scroll as you drag-and-select? I'm not sure i understand the problem. To select multiple lines, you can either mousedown in the line number margin and drag like i explained before or... Find the first line you want to select and click in the line number margin as an easy way to place the cursor at the beginning of that line. Then scroll to the last line you want to select, hold down SHIFT, and then click again in the line number margin. Sorry if i'm missing your point entirely, but the original question was about avoiding the accidental creation of a breakpoint when selecting a block of code with the mouse. chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Tal Dayan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 12:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Eap-list] Bookmark symbol hidden > > > But how do you know where to stop selecting ?
