So this request is six years old now and NO updates? This bug has been a
thorn in my side for a long time and your answer is to just close the VB IDE
and re-open it?
Thats ridiculous.

I just got used to right clicking it to ensure it was
selected but there is little point in complaining about it
now as there will be no new fixes.

See I just got a new job as a VB dev so I dusted off my VB6 IDE and have only
started using it again for the first time in a couple of years.
I really had thought this issue would have been addressed a long time ago
and thought I'd post as a sign of my anger and frustration =)

Well there is a lot of anger and frustration when it come to
the issue of VB these days...

The only thing that that is likely to have changed since you
last worked on VB6 is SP6 but most avoid it unless you
absolutely need to install it.

Any other problems.. well your on your own as far as MS are
concerned.

We're still here though ;-)

Just because I'm moody doesn't mean you're not irritating.

I encounter this bug from time to time. Kind of annoying, sure, but it's
not THAT major. I certainly wouldn't describe it as being anything even
close to a "thorn in my side".

Don't expect it to get fixed since VB6 is now out of mainstream support.

Also, these newsgroups are not actually monitored by MS. Some MS people do
read them from time to time, but this is not the place to report a bug or
complain to MS about something.

It's totally insignificant. I don't even notice it most of the time. The
selected item is still highlighted with an outline.

In project explorer just click on the little 'toggle folders' button once to
collapse the list, then hit it again to expand. Normal functionality is
restored.

The only way to get a bug resolved is to pay MS (i.e. support contract) to
do so, and to provide a business case. The second can be hard to achieve,
even for blatant security bugs, and even then MS might decide not to fix it.

For example, it took me, our management and our local account manager some 9
months of fighting to get MS to agree to resolve a triple of security
problems, now finally resolved as KB899900, KB908209 and KB911149. The
result was a 12 month delay in our project - and eventual cancellation. We
finally got it resolved, but only for W2K3 SP1 and WXP SP1/2. The problem
exists in all versions of W2K, WXP and W2K3. The KB articles also fail to
indicate how the defect can be used to break into a system (and no I won't
state the details here as I don't want to make it too easy for lurking
hackers).
