SYMPTOMS
The Visual Workbench fails to remove the carriage-return character from a highlighted line if that line has been indented using the TAB key.



RESOLUTION
If you use the TAB character to indent a line, highlight the line again before you choose Cut or Copy from the Edit menu.



MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce the problem, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Open Visual Workbench. Open a source file.
 * 2) Highlight an entire line of text by holding down the primary mouse button at the far left of a line containing a carriage return. Drag the mouse downward until one line is highlighted. You can also highlight the line by holding down the SHIFT key while pressing the DOWN ARROW key.
 * 3) Press the TAB key. The line will be indented but still highlighted.
 * 4) Choose Cut from the Edit menu. Notice that the carriage-return character has not been cut with the rest of the text. This is evident because the line you just cut is still there but it is now a line with no text.
 * 5) Highlight a different line, and this time choose Cut from the Edit menu without using the TAB key to indent the line. Notice that the carriage- return character has been cut properly from the source file.
