Cursor out of screen on Ctrl+Up/Dn

[dumchikov]

Hello,

PL/SQL Developer Version 7.1.1.1339

On scrolling screen using ctrl+up/dn keys the cursor eventually may disappear from the visible screen.

Ver 6 did not allow the cursor to leave the visible screen.

Is it possible to return this convenient behaivor at least optionally?

Regards,
Yuriy

I believe this can happen if the current view does not have a horizontal scrollbar, and the bottom view does have a scrollbar. This issue is under investigation.

Marco,

In my Preferences - Key Configuration
I have custom assignment of "Editor: Scroll Up"
set to "Ctrl+Up"
and "Editor: Scroll Down"
set to "Ctrl+Down"

Then, editing a pl/sql package
i navigate the code using Ctrl+Up and Dn keys.

It scrolls fine. The cursor remain on the current position, which is also fine.
And if you keep scrolling the current line (and the cursor) will move out of the visible area. This is also correct.
What I want is to restrict (as an option in config) the cursor from going out of the visible area. This is the way it is done in ver 6: scrolling Up the cursor goes up with the text and when it hits the first line and scrolling keeps going up the cursor does not go above the window top and just stays on the 1-st line -- this is the navigation i would expect in ver 7 as well.

currently, in ver 7, the cursor will go off the visible screen, and when i'm done with the navigation and ready to type my code the editor suddenly brings me back the same place I started the navigation with Ctrl+Up/Dn keys.
