Bug? Problem with b4A editor

[aedwall]

I use version 12.50 (64 bit). There is a serious problem at times with the editor. I am in debug mode and need to make some changes in my code. At times, not always, when I edit code, then certain other parts of my code automatically change on me. I don't know if this happens because of (after) a SAVE operation on my part, or before I save my work. b4A is changing lines of code I was not even modifying. This is annoying because it messes up my code and I have to try and figure out what it changed that I am not aware of.

One example of how changes were made in my code and code 28 lines above what I changed automatically changed by itself, from this:

mp1 = Find_Midpoint(Transit(pidx(a1)), Transit(pidx(b1)))

to this:

mp1 = Find_Midpoint(Transit(pidx(a1)), Transit(pidx())

What is going on here? Does anyone else have this problem? Seems like this has been around for many versions, and is still happening. Thank you.

I haven't noticed this (mainly use B4j) but I can be ham fisted on the keyboard and can quite easily press Ctrl+z instead of Ctrl+s from time to time. I'm not saying that's what happened. Just a possibility.

Sometimes due to autocomplete or intellisence feature.
I always double check before leaving a line of code. That's why I always slow on writing code.

It happens on lines where I haven't touched the code. So I don't see how it could be that. But I will turn those off as they are kind of a distraction anyway. But I don't see any references to either of those functionalities. UPDATE: I see "Disable Implicit Auto Completion" under "Tools - IDE Options".

Check menu Tools ->IDE Options.

It happens at random times, not all the time, and I have not been able to reproduce it with any consistency. Yes, that makes it difficult to track and trace. I will keep my eyes open until it happens again. I know, not much you can do if you can't reproduce the problem.
