I had that happen at least once and never figured out what happened. Now
I will give it a try. It seems to me it happened during a cut/paste
thing also, but I never figured out exactly what happend because PB3.5
jumps around so much anyway when you delete a line or something. I'll
give it some more testing and see. If it is a bug, then it will not be
the first one.
 
If it makes a difference, I run WIN95 and use a DOS window for PB3.5. I
set max memory available and make the mouse exclusive in a full screen
window. It seems to work fine for me so far...but I am a tyro as far as
PB3.5 goes....used PDS7.1 for years and years....
