Aug. 10th, 2019 08:33 pmThe latest Windows 10 update pisses me off.
I like to hold the shift key down while I'm moving the cursor a long distance, to highlight/select what I'm moving past, to better track the cursor's progress. A few weeks or months ago, in Excel and Word, I noticed that, when I did that and then deselected, the cursor reverts to where it began, rendering my reflexive habit useless. For awhile I was giving the issue insufficient articulate thought to realize this started more recently than when I first downloaded this version of Office because it wasn't bugging me that much because I don't navigate in Office programs that way a lot. But in retrospect it must have only started a few weeks or months ago, at the time I first noticed it, with one of MicroSoft's updates for the program.
Because, as of the last Windows 10 update, this has been happening in Notepad. Where I spend most of my time.
