1. Starting from a directory, I right click on the directory and get the New from template -> Classes -> Class option. 2. Create the class (call it BryanClass), click finish. 3. In the Explorer window, expand the "BryanClass" tab. 4. Once that menu opens up, expand "class BryanClass" tab. 5. Right click on "Methods", select "New Method". 6. Use the name "btvMethod", select defaults, add a parameter type=String, name=test (I don`t think adding the parameter changes anything, FYI) 6. On the first method, the Methods tab is highlighted. I though it would be great if it would open up the tab for me to let me know (visually) that I had created a method, without having to open it up. 7. If I expand the Methods tab, btvMethod is there, but the cursor on the Editor window is at the top (!!) -- the cursor _isn`t_ moved to the newly created method "btvMethod". 8. So I have the Methods tab open, with the btvMethod showing (because I manually opened it) 9. When I create a new method, btv2Method (using same method starting at #5 above), btv2Method shows up on the Methods tab, but _Methods_ is still hightlighted (my suggestion is to have btv2Method hig hlighted, so there is a visual cue as to what I just created. This becomes more important when there are already a lot of existing methods (from an existing project that I am taking over). I want to be able to create a method signature this way, then have it hightlighted for me (in the Explorer tree) so I can immediately click on it. Also, the _CURSOR_ is still at the _TOP_ of the file in the Editor menu. (doesn`t move to the newly created methods in either case).
Priority is changed to P4 (normal).
Only changed version to Development.
ad 7) The expansion of node isn't enough to make editor change caret position, try double-clicking. I agree with the rest.
Version: 'Dev' -> 3.2
Target milestone -> 3.3
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Set target milestone to TBD
