Problem with INS key flag in the debugger status bar

[old coot]

Sometimes, the INS mode flag in the edit/debug status bar indicates the opposite of reality.

In TCC, make sure INS mode is off.
Bring up a new edit/debug window.

The status bar in the edit/debug window indicates that the INS mode is off; but typing (and the cursor) indicate that INS mode is on.​

While in the edit/debug window, press the Insert key.

The status bar in the edit/debug window indicates that the INS mode is on; but typing (and the cursor) indicate that INS mode is off.​

Go back to the TCC window. At this point, one of two things can happen. It seems they happen alternately.

Scenario 1:​

Just by jumping back to the TCC window, the INS mode flag in the edit/debug window is turned off.​

Go back to the edit/debug window. Try typing. The INS mode flag is still incorrect.​

Scenario 2:​

Jumping back to the TCC window does not cause the INS mode flag in the edit/debug window to be turned off.​

In the TCC window, press the Insert key to turn INS mode on. This will cause the INS mode flag in the edit/debug window to turn off.​

Go back to the edit/debug window. You will find that typing now agrees with the INS mode flag in the status bar.​

Hmmm! I can't test that one. Even though I have everything checked, Insert/Overstrike, CapsLock, and ScrollLock don't show up in my status bar.

My post was out of line. My CapsLock key is disabled and I hadn't pressed ScrollLock (and I was expecting to see something regardless of the status ... DOH!).

This was due to a change in the Scintilla edit control notifications. I've changed the IDE & TCEdit in build 28.02.17 to match it.
