SYMPTOMS
The Visual Basic development environment (VB.EXE) behaves unexpectedly when a split Code window is resized. Instead of proportionally resizing the two sub-windows along with the parent window, the lower split view is obscured. The only indication that a split window is in effect is that both the horizontal scroll bar and the bottom of the vertical scroll bar are also obscured.



WORKAROUND
To work around the problem, resize the Code window to a convenient size before splitting the window.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.



Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Open a Code window.
 * 2) Create a split Code window by placing the cursor between the Code window header and the top of the Code window and dragging downward.
 * 3) Resize the Code window to a smaller size -- from the top down or from the bottom up.

The result is that the lower window is hidden, including any break points you were trying to track (for example, while watching one set in each window).
