    Hi, I don't know if anyone else finds this annoying but it is driving me up the wall... When I'm editing in a code window I will often want to modify or check a control setting on a form. When I SINGLE-click on the form in a form designer window the IDE behaves as if I double-clicked and adds a form load event handler. This also happens if I click directly on a control... Single click on a textbox: IDE adds a text-changed event handler Single click on a button: IDE adds a button-click event handler etc. If the form editor window already has focus this problem does not occur, it only happens if the form editor window did not have focus when it was clicked. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening ? Many thanks in advance.

        This is driving me crazy as well. All of my colleagues are using the same software but I am the only one with this bug. Have you got it fixed?

          Hi, No fix yet. I raised this problem on a Microsoft forum but the moderator removed it about three days later without any comment or explanation, so I guess they're not going to fix it any time soon. If I hear of anything I'll post back. Thanks!

            I actually just have solved the problem here. It was bug to a custom macro I had installed. The macro was meant to change the text in the title bar but doing so was resetting the focus to the parent window and this was creating the above mentioned problem. I got rid of the macro for now. Maybe you could check if you too have unusual macros installed?
