Star*Net ANNOYING cut and paste behaviour

I'm not having the same experience you are. I'm using v9. It returns to the cursor position I left it in. Just tried it to confirm. Nevertheless, if that is as bad as it gets for you, you are doing alright.?ÿ

?ÿ

So when you do alt-tab from one window to another window it goes right back??ÿ

I write a lot of programs, it is very easy to do what I am asking.?ÿ

I'm not using ALT-TAB to switch between windows. I simply have two windows open, one being StarNet, one on each monitor. Click in one, select and cut the item, click Starnet, paste it at the last cursor position.?ÿ

I see now that switching windows using ALT-TAB leaves me with no cursor, and I have to click at a spot to activate one. But that happens both in StarNet and in the data source Notepad window.?ÿ

I am an old timer, I use the keyboard much more than the mouse. I have three monitors, but I still use alt-tab to go between open windows.?ÿ

I set Wordpad as my .dat file editor and edit the .dat files externally. No issues like you are describing.

This is what I do, only I use Notepad++.?ÿ Much easier to block select and I find it does not "chug" as much as editing in Starnet itself.

I use Notepad++ for the data convertor, to take advantage of the line numbering.

Another Notepad++ aficionado here.

I'm still using an old Starplus version (v6.0) of Star*Net.?ÿ The only unusual cut/paste behavior I see is when copying text from a Star*Net window the application often (usually?) puts up an error message ("Clipboard error: 5 (5).") even though it correctly copies the text to the clipboard.?ÿ I just ignore the message.
