I found MMB4W as really easy tool for larger or smaller tasks. Good in making skeches for Picomites too. But it has some weird problem. Mostly I ue MMB4W in combination with notepad++. But some parts of code I also edit in MMB4W and then relod to notepad++ <--> etc.. But if in MM4W environment, F4,F5 was used to copy paste , you can certainly at some "random" point (bufer problem?) get garbage in some random place of code. Suddenly in some row, symbols @@@@@@@@@@@@@ appear. You can delete them but if you tray type something, instead of proper symbols, it types @@@@ Also in some other place you suddenly notice destroyed line of code with some parts at the begining like it vas pasted over not in proper place and trucated too. If I am not touching F4,F5 - all goes well. But if used, you never know vhen some parts will be destroyed and you must look through to find what exactly. And it is not funny sometimes  Does anybody noticed that and can describe problem better than me? Maybe Peter would take a look whats going on. Indeed, we use MMB4W  My MMBasic 'sand box' |

Yes, F4 and F5 have been doing some odd things. Thought it was me bumping the wrong keys. When using F4.....F4 to cut some text a line elsewhere may also vanish, but not always. Have not found a pattern. When using F5 to paste that text it may also be pasted elsewhere in the program. Once again can't see a pattern to it, other than that it is further down the program and may overwrite a whole line. |

@phil99 Today, I had like 5 hours session with MMB4W, and did not used F4,F5 just to see if problem will occour. And everything went just fine. But at price of diskomfort Yesterday had like 4-6 hours too, and used F4,F5 time to time and had like 3 "ruined code situations". No backup, so had to rethink complicated routine once again :D So if you confirm same events , then it might be really related to F4,F5. My MMBasic 'sand box' |

What machine are you running on and what OS? |

Win10 64bit on Celeron (J3455 quad core Apollo lake) mini PC. An unrelated item that may be just me not finding it in the manual but the PIXEL() function returns 32 bits with colours reversed. Transparency?, Blue, Green, Red eg. > cls RGB(Red) > ? Hex$(Pixel(99,99)) FF0000FF > And command Pixel x,y,255 is red rather than blue. Easy to adapt to once you know but affects portability of code.
