I love the Microsoft developer's studio. Really I do. It has "scrollbar warts" as I call them. And they have shown up again.

The developer's studio occasionally sprouts scrollbars, or "parts" of scrollbars, where they shouldn't be. The best of these 'warts' begin to scroll your text whenever you even move the mouse over them. At the moment, I have the right-hand two thirds of an "up arrow" image from a scrollbar, 3/4 inch wide and four inches high, on a 5" high window, sitting docked at the left-hand side. It depresses on mouse-over, but nothing moves, so whatever it's affecting doesn't scroll.

Earlier, I had a complete scrollbar, very thin and half-height, at the lower left of the same window, and it WAS scrolling my programming space whenever I moved the mouse over it.

This is a release version of a product Microsoft makes for programmers to use.

I am deeply grateful to them for this service. Between this and the occasional crash, I am able to feel much better about the quality of even my alpha-test programs....
