Copy&Paste problem in CVI 9.01

[Zaruma]

There ist he follow problem with the editor from CVI9.01 (german language)

For an example, the following lines:
Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4 
Line 5 
Line 6 
Line 7
 
Line 8 
Line 9 
Line 10

If I copy the lines 2, 3 and 4 with copy and paste between line 7 and 8, I should receive following result:
Line 1 
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4 
Line 5 
Line 6 
Line 7
Line 2 
Line 3 
Line 4 
Line 8 
Line 9 
Line 10

But my result i the CVI editor is:
Line 1          
Line 2          
Line 3          
Line 4          
Line 5          
Line 6          
Line 7          
Line 2          
Line 3 Line 8 
Line 4 Line 9 
Line 10        

The editor doze the following not down, he only copies the new lines previous the other lines. 

This problem is only in the CVI editor. Other applications (such as word) copy the lines correctly.

Is this effect a bug or is a setting of a parameter not correctly? I have no parameter found for this setting.

That is very odd. Do you only see the problem for certain lines of a certain file, or does it happen for any lines you copy within any file you try? If it's a specific bit of text, could you post a source (or text) file that exhibits this problem? If the problem were more general, there would have been many more reports of this issue by now, so it must either be a peculiarity of the source file or possibly the system.

I suspect you may be inadvertently operating the editor in 'column select' mode, which can lead to this effect. The editing modes are selected by repeatedly pressing <Ctrl>-<Insert>, or by clicking on the peculiar icon next to the Ins/Ovr flag at the bottom of the CVI panel:In CVI help, see the topic  Using LabWindows/CVI->Writing Source Code->Source Window Overview->Selecting Text in Source Windows.

Good catch, Martin. The different editing modes had completely slipped my mind!
