I’ve noticed in Ignition 8 designers, when I mouse click on a script the cursor will show up a few characters down (usually 1 - 3 positions off). Sometimes the cursor will appear in the middle of a character. Has anyone else noticed this? It’s very buggy and frustrating when trying to edit scripts or highlight sections. This does not happen when I open the designer for the 7.9 servers. ---

Something odd is happening and you might want to contact support. I haven’t seen this issue personally and haven’t heard about it from others. ---

This also happens to me, but only if I stretch the editors past their default width, which is always. It’s not been a big deal for me, I tend to use the keyboard more often than not, just wanted to demonstrate that its not an isolated issue. ---

Interesting! It happens to me on the default window size as well. It gets worse when I click on a location further to the right of the window though. Most times it will click correctly if I click a few characters into a line, but not further down that line. I’ll give support a call and will update. ---

This is probably related to the new fonts and the old code editors; there’s a few threads on the forum reporting the same basic problem. The good news is that we’re planning to replace the old code editors at some point, the bad news is I can’t give a timeline. ---

Well, 8.1 is LTS, so we’d have 5 years to get it in. 😉
