I've noticed many peculiar things re highlighting, cutting, pasting with the
new Beta console.  I've not been able to reliably repeat the problems to
report them in a useful manner.  But it can be disconcerting... things get
highlighted and STAY that way even as the console scrolls, cut/paste seems
to drop pieces, etc.

Part of this difficulty seems to come when I'm doing such actions in a
running application where the screen might scroll cuz of program output
while I am highlighting something with the mouse, but I'm not sure if that's it.

Just thought I'd reinforce what was mentioned here.  Also, while maybe
someone is looking let me repeat my question from msg #36855:

" I just happened to notice that the console on the new Beta version (using
 Win95) looks/acts different from the old version.  Namely, the "blinking
 cursor" is a solid "blotch" on the new vs. a "flashing vertical line" on the
 old.  Also, text wraps around on the new, while it does not on the old,
 where a horizontal scroll bar shows up instead."

" Are these cosmetic attributes fixed, or is there a way for a user to set
 them so that all versions look/act the same?"

 Thanks,

 Russ
